rename image os

If I wanted to rename from bluefin to something else what how would I do that the image name does not seem to do that. Also how would I create a custom personalized DE just with system files?

Solution:

Here is an example script modifiying /etc/os-release https://github.com/winblues/blue95/blob/main/files/scripts/00-image-info.sh

I believe all of that is handled in /etc/os-release

I hope ya'll don't mind me reviving this, but I have a couple of related questions. - The linked script from blue95 looks like it'd make for a great BlueBuild module. Has that work already been done somewhere, or would it make a good contribution? - What specific var in the os-release file would change the text in my boot menu, and rpm-ostree status? I get confused when the images say (Silverblue) after the version number, because I also sometimes try vanilla Silverblue images which at this point are quite different than my BlueBuild image. Thanks in advance.

I think I'll experiment and see what I can come up with

Thanks @gmpinder, I don't mean to create work for you, just wanted to see what the status of things are 🙂

EU OS and all national images that we plan for would also benefit from such a module. 🙂

This is a simple module designed to update the /etc/os-release variables. It&#39;s as easy as: type: os-release properties: NAME: WunkerOS ID: wunker_os PRETTY_NAME: Wunker OS for Nvidia ...

You can try it with

modules:
  - type: os-release
    source: ghcr.io/blue-build/modules/os-release:os-release
    properties:
      NAME: SomeOS
      ID: some_os
      PRETTY_NAME: Some OS

modules:
  - type: os-release
    source: ghcr.io/blue-build/modules/os-release:os-release
    properties:
      NAME: SomeOS
      ID: some_os
      PRETTY_NAME: Some OS

You can specify any key/value (string) pair and it will add/update the value in /etc/os-release

The os-release module offers a way to modify and set values in the /etc/os-release file in your image.
