This is only useful for RHEL developers who want to build RHEL containers in the Fedora host and requires a subscription. Keep it out by default; one can always of course re-layer it in a derived build.
Fedora bootc base images
Create and maintain base bootable container images from Fedora packages.
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.
Building
First, the expectation is that most users will want to build layered images on top of the official base images. See the documentation5 for more info.
Building the images in this repo can be done with podman build as with any
other application image (note that building with docker is not currently
supported). You need to enable some privileges for technical reasons.
podman build --security-opt=label=disable --cap-add=all --device /dev/fuse \
-t localhost/fedora-bootc:40 -f Containerfile.fedora-40
See Containerfile.fedora-40 for more details.
You are of course also free to fork, customize, and build base images yourself. See this page6 of the documentation for more information.
