Today it's built as a module for Fedora derivatives, but it's a relatively small kmod. In particular I want to be able to use a virtiofs root as a bootstrap mechanism to generate disk images in a situation where we can't do nested containers, but we do have `/dev/kvm` - which is the setup we have in e.g. OpenShift Prow on `build02` with nested virt.
centos-bootc
Create and maintain base bootable container images from Fedora ELN and CentOS Stream packages.
The longer term vision of this project is that the build infrastructure (and possibly some of the container definitions) move into the respective upstream operating systems. For now, this project acts as a more central point for this across these distributions.
Motivation
The original Docker container model of using "layers" to model applications has been extremely successful. This project aims to apply the same technique for bootable host systems - using standard OCI/Docker containers as a transport and delivery format for base operating system updates.
