Hello world!
@j0rge could we possibly pin this? As a longer term thing, it would be helpful for it to not get lost.
ack as soon as I figure out how
we have an older thread in here that might make more sense
but whatever, just get the info in here, we'll figure it out
Oh sure! That works too!
@αchilleaς for visibility 😄
(I'm out this morning, couch isn't going away so doing the doctor thing)
@hippiehacker will be interested in this (he's in NZ time zone so that'll be async)
Sounds good! Hope you feel better soon!
hey hey
👋
alright so update on my side:
This PR makes it possible to do what we need: https://github.com/osbuild/images/pull/322
It's stuck in review (waiting for Simon to fix the git history) from before the holidays but It Works.

anaconda: container installer by supakeen · Pull Request #322 · osb...
Based on: #315
This introduces a new image that installs a bootc bootable container with Anaconda.
(Please pass my regards to mvo, I worked with him for a long time at Canonical, I was so happy to see him working on osbuild, feels like reconnecting with an old friend!)
Once that's merged, adding the ability to composer becomes very straightforward and what you'll be able to do is build an ISO that embeds an oci ostree-based container image with Anaconda configured to install it. There's some bits that aren't configurable completely (yet), but we can figure those out. Like maybe we can add an option to make the installer fully unattended vs manual
Oh cool!! I will. Yeah Michael's great. He really hit the ground running when he joined like a month or two ago.
He says Hi back :)
I'm so excited about this! 😄
This is great news @achkts !
fully unattended would be cool if you were doing a mass deployment of machines. I was talking with j0rge and kyle last night and making universal blue a full fledged chromebook alternative would be really cool!
fully unattended is a bit hacked up right now: https://github.com/osbuild/images/pull/322/commits/7ea7d819847a173f75d63b3aeed19f5b2f105206#diff-12a483f85526bab16de723964940dbc6eb71dce708019f7a60c5fcc4f0d478faR367-R377
we're writing a fixed kickstart file onto the ISO because we need this for an internal project. The plan is to have the options in osbuild to do this properly and then we can control things more sanely
