bootc backend

Robert•4/4/25, 2:11 PM

Don't we need install to-filesystem instead for what we need (LUKS etc)?

quirks:

FDE needs manual partitioning because the built-in FDE option on doesnt work right yet (doesnt allow you to have a password)
filesystem configuration needs to exist under

tulip•4/4/25, 2:11 PM

thats it

tulip•4/4/25, 2:11 PM

everything else works perfect

Ttulip quirks: - FDE needs manual partitioning because the built-in FDE option on `boot...

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:11 PM

way ahead of you

tulip•4/4/25, 2:11 PM

and it mounts the drive in a weird way

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:12 PM

We got manual partitioning already done

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:12 PM

tulip•4/4/25, 2:12 PM

sgtm

j0rge•4/4/25, 2:12 PM

Ok gtg

j0rge•4/4/25, 2:12 PM

We're gonna need to focus

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:12 PM

I mean, for FDE? We already have systemd-repart for that

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:12 PM

so I would need to refactor the code and make the backend not reliant on systemd-repart for copying files and allow bootc-install to be the main process

antheas•4/4/25, 2:13 PM

to-disk is meant for throwaway container servers

CCappy Ishihara so I would need to refactor the code and make the backend not reliant on systemd...

tulip•4/4/25, 2:13 PM

wha why

tulip•4/4/25, 2:13 PM

oh yup

Ttulip wha why

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:13 PM

currently readymade expects the main process to be systemd-repart copying files from a pristine FS archive

CCappy Ishihara currently readymade expects the main process to be systemd-repart copying files ...

tulip•4/4/25, 2:14 PM

yup you want to be the main one with bootc

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:14 PM

yeah

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:14 PM

can be done

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:14 PM

I'll work on it soon, currently dealing with migrating to uCore on my homelab though :P

tulip•4/4/25, 2:14 PM

any chance we can statically compile readymade?

tulip•4/4/25, 2:14 PM

if so itll be much easier to include on the live ISO

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:15 PM

it's already statically compiled i thinkl

tulip•4/4/25, 2:15 PM

ill try to compile it and see

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:15 PM

actually the dynamic links

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:15 PM

actually no

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:15 PM

it links with gnome-desktop4

tulip•4/4/25, 2:15 PM

we'll just make a spec or something its aight

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:15 PM

because we expected it to be a full GTK application

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:15 PM

not a library or backend

tulip•4/4/25, 2:16 PM

what about that helium thing

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:16 PM

readymade is a full-fledged GTK application so it's not really meant to be statically compiled fully

tulip•4/4/25, 2:16 PM

libhelium dunno

Ttulip what about that helium thing

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:16 PM

that's a GTK stylesheet

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:17 PM

libhellium is what Bootstrap/Tailwind is to GTK, basically

tulip•4/4/25, 2:17 PM

how do you test readymade tho?

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:18 PM

making a full standalone version would require some refactoring so yeah

tulip•4/4/25, 2:18 PM

like i can build it on my host but i dont wanna blow up any drives or anything LOL

Ttulip how do you test readymade tho?

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:18 PM

we just do E2E tests manually

Ttulip like i can build it on my host but i dont wanna blow up any drives or anything L...

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:18 PM

We have a script in the scripts directory

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:18 PM

what it does is

make a disk image
make a loopdev out of said disk image
run readymade and point it to that loopdev

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:19 PM

the pointing part is done manually since you know... it's a GUI app

tulip•4/4/25, 2:20 PM

hardest god damn part is the GUI

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:20 PM

so true

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:20 PM

GTK4 was a mistake

madomado•4/4/25, 2:20 PM

mew?

Mmadomado mew?

Cappy IshiharaOP•4/4/25, 2:21 PM

can we do a bootc install to-filesystem backend for rdm

madomado•4/4/25, 2:21 PM

why not just fork or if possible use their project
