How?

akdev

akdev•9/3/23, 5:54 PM

we just need some glue in bootc to lift the rpm dependency and well unlock the other distros

I believe if it was up to Colin he’d move things to bootc asap

I did it in a vm, I tooted to walters to see if he considers it explosions or not

j0rgeOP•9/3/23, 6:00 PM

those are the only commands

akdev

A

akdev•9/3/23, 6:03 PM

install-to-filesystem is what should be invoked by anaconda

j0rge

J

j0rgeOP•9/3/23, 6:04 PM

I was able to rebase to bazzite but not back again because it's not in bazzite

j0rge

J

j0rgeOP•9/3/23, 6:04 PM

but it worked fine

akdev

A

akdev•9/3/23, 6:05 PM

I thought the image needed bootc as well

akdev

A

akdev•9/3/23, 6:05 PM

Interesting

j0rge

J

j0rgeOP•9/3/23, 6:05 PM

yeah, I added it bluefin a few days ago

Gerblesh

Gerblesh•9/3/23, 6:06 PM

Can you rebase to a non-ostree container?

j0rge

J

j0rgeOP•9/3/23, 6:06 PM

It'll be in the base images eventually, there's not even a stable snapshot in fedora, I'm using the repo they use to build it daily

j0rge

J

j0rgeOP•9/3/23, 6:06 PM

I don't think it would? how would the image boot?

"Crucially, if you create a derivative container image from a stock OS container image, it also automatically supports

bootc install

bootc install

."

j0rge

J

j0rgeOP•9/3/23, 6:14 PM

this is so dope, everything will have a built in installer

akdev

A

akdev•9/3/23, 6:18 PM

From the perspective of the user not much would change

akdev

A

akdev•9/3/23, 6:18 PM

Just anaconda needs to call bootc instead of ostree container

that would be fine too, but wouldn't address nvidia not working on a fresh install with an nvidia only machine
