# 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 documentation[5] 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 page[6] of the documentation for more information.
