A question for you knowledgable folks; I’m working on figuring out how to get a couple of proprietary system level pieces of software to work nicely on Bluefin. Currently I’m building rpms and layering them for testing with view to build a custom image. In the new bootc world this approach won’t be possible, so what is the best way of tinkering before I commit to a long GitHub actions run?
If the components you are adding can be validated in a terminal, you can use podman-bootc to run the image from your local containers storage https://github.com/containers/podman-bootc
I also tend to run a local OCI registry, push a new image there and bootc switch to it in a VM.
It's working well in Bluefin LTS - we just need to switch it back on. Generating the SBOM fails in Bluefin for some reason. I've not had a chance to investigate yet. I think M2 said we need to create a large swap file for it to succeed. Once Bluefin is fixed, we can copy and paste the code over to main, Aurora and uCore
That's interesting but exciting news! I'm looking at doing the same in my repos. I can take a look as well. You think there's any benefit in putting this in the image template as well? So everyone can get them as artifacts?
ok so instead of using the github board when I get back I'm going to just write the update in hackmd and we'll put all of those items in there so we can double up
