Is it suitable to create server images?
Pardon my ignorance, but I got slightly confused by your responses:
"No, I didn't bother with a method to keep the config on each device updated through a central repository"
and
"In that case, I manually replicate that change onto the NAS after testing directly on a server.
Each podman quadlet is set up to auto-update the respective containers using the quadlet configuration."
which seemed to be contradictory, because aren't the quadlets therefore auto-updating from the central NAS? 😆
Sorry for the lack of understanding, but your setup is very interesting.

This setup sounds really neat, I'd like to try to replicate something like this including non-Pis. I've not used ignition/coreos before.
When you're updating the container-based services, how do the updated containers get pulled onto the Pis? Do you have it configured to check and pull automatically from your NAS?

That makes sense. Presumably you could run your whatever-service-containers within a bootc-server-root-container-image though?

Sure I just thought it interesting that as a founder of bluebuild you don't seem eager to introduce a similar workflow into your home server(s)

I also thought this looked pretty cool for automatically booting back into previous image if an update has broken something on your headless server: https://github.com/fedora-iot/greenboot

It's really interesting to read this, because I'm still trying to grasp this changing landscape for image-based installs, but I had thought/assumed that building and booting bootc images was a flow more typically targeted at servers, and that it is their use on the desktop that is particularly novel.
