Example containers that derive from (Fedora) CoreOS

Fedora CoreOS is now also an OCI container image that can be used as a base image to create bootable derivative containers.

See coreos/fedora-coreos-docs#540 for more information about how to use this.

This repository contains example containers to demonstrate functionality.

• build-zfs-module: Build the ZFS third party module as rpm and install it
• butane: Demos using https://github.com/coreos/butane
• inject-go-binary: Demos adding building and injecting a Go binary + systemd unit
• podman-next: Use COPR to install the podman-next package
• rsyslog: Install and configure rsyslog to forward to a remote host
• replace-kernel: Replace the kernel using packages from Koji
• replace-systemd: Replacing a base package, in this case systemd

Running an example

• Build an image using an example from this repo and push it to an image registry:

  set IMAGE (podman build $EXAMPLE -q)
  podman push $IMAGE quay.io/$USER/$EXAMPLE
  

• Setup a system that has rpm-ostree installed. One possibility is using virt-install.

• Rebase the system with rpm-ostree to the image
