#3274 Change: Distributing Kickstart Files as OCI Artifacts
Closed: Accepted 21 days ago by ngompa. Opened 2 months ago by amoloney.

Fedora distributed as bootable container ships via OCI registry. Installation is typically done by conversion into a VM image or ISO installer via osbuild (image builder), however, booting from network is a useful workflow for bare-metal fleet deployments. Required files to perform such installation are not available in the OCI repository that could be fetched from registry in a similar manner as the bootable container.

As of today, files are only available in the Fedora RPM repository and the installation workflow would be cumbersome to find appropriate RPM repo version and extract needed files instead of fetching all the needed assets from the registry only. The change introduces a new OCI repository with the files in question for each Fedora stable version.

The change is complementary to the current distribution of kickstart, we are not proposing to stop distributing these files in dnf repositories.

Owners, do not implement this work until the FESCo vote has explicitly ended.
The Fedora Program Manager will create a tracking bug in Bugzilla for this Change, which is your indication to proceed.
See the FESCo ticket policy and the Changes policy for more information.

REMINDER: This ticket is for FESCo members to vote on the proposal. Further discussion should happen in the devel list thread linked above.


There was some discussion in the discourse thread, with some people expressing support while others expressed doubt whether this is useful/needed. I don't know enough about this area to have an informed decision. In general it looks reasonable…

I see no problems with this.

+1

@kevin you were supportive in the discussion thread. Your vote?

Theres been no discussion in over a week on the post and theres enough +1 votes to potentially consider this approved. FESCo could you let me know if I can go ahead and process this change now, or if you'd prefer to discuss/vote further? Thanks!

^^ This is the actual ticket I meant to comment on. Too many tabs..... :blush:

According to the voting rules, this is approved because we have more than on at least one +1 vote after the end of the second week, with no negative votes.

APPROVED (+3, 0, 0)
