New feature or request
High level goal: Streamline the "install from existing (cloud) instance" flow. Previous work related to this landed in e.g. #919 but we want to make it even easier.
This command will become a frontend for the current
podman run <image> bootc install to-existing-root
and it will be a little bit more of an "installer". For example it may have a TUI (ncurses style?).An important goal of this command is to ensure that the admin can SSH into the new instance by default, which may involve automatically propagating things like SSH credentials (which we don't do by default with
to-existing-root
). It may also make sense to propagate SSH host keys.Sub-goal: Don't become a full installer
This command should not become a "full" installer, in particular at the moment out of scope are:
%post
type scriptsNetworking and partitioning are the two biggest things and I think people who want that stuff should use externally maintained OS installers (e.g. anaconada) that should be invoking
bootc install to-filesystem
as part of doing their setup.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
