#bootc

6 days until #EU_OS at Paris #HackDays: EU OS is a so-called atomic operating system that offers interruption free software updates thanks to #bootc (bootable container) technology. While people work, bootc downloads and installs unnoticeable to the user the update. After the next computer restart (trigged by the user), EU OS switches to the new version. If something breaks, the user can roll back. 1/2

Bootc as a project is one with tons of promise and lots of community support. It's what is powering the next generation of Atomic Desktops, CoreOS, and Fedora IoT, not to mention all of the work that @UniversalBlue has done to show off everything that can be done today.

If you want to follow bootc more closely, regular updates from Fedora's end are shared here. :)

Fedora Discussion#bootc-initiative topicsThis is the primary discussion space for the (proposed) Fedora bootc initiative, which seeks to establish the Fedora community as the center of activity for implementing methods of configuring and managing image based Linux systems using OCI container tools.<br><br>For real-time, interactive conversation, join us in #bootc on Fedora Chat.

NixOS is cool, but it's nothing new. I've seen many smart people doing an excellent job with chroot, symlinks, and Chef/Puppet long before NixOS came along. A really cool thing is the Atomic desktop and bootc model. If you want a secure and solid environment, the Atomic desktop is the way to go. There's a learning curve, but it opens up a whole new world for you. #nixos #atomicdesktop #bootc

#Fedora #bootc image does not allow me to add the user to the group 'users'. But the group exists somehow, just not in:

```
$ cat /etc/group | grep users
```

What am I missing?

This is not an issue on the fedora container images:

```
$ cat /etc/group | grep users
users:x:100:
```

With Allison, I presented at FOSDEM how we can combine UKI, composefs and containers to build a fully signed boot chain. The slides and the recording are now available: fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event

This is how we are planning to bring boot chain integrity to Bootable Containers.

This is a follow up on the initial work that we presented last year at @allsystemsgo: cfp.all-systems-go.io/all-syst

Fedora 41 did not see big changes for Fedora Atomic Desktops, but we are certainly ramping up for the switch to bootc and being fully image-based!

Catch the episode on bootable containers from the Fedora Podcast! Will be live streamed today at 5pm EDT.

This will be all about bootc and how it expands on the atomic model that we see in Fedora Atomic Desktops , Fedora IoT, and Fedora CoreOS. Won't be the last time you hear about this!

You know how with Fedora Atomic Desktops and Fedora CoreOS you can rebase to other images with rpm-ostree? With that you need to have an rpm-ostree system to start and then rebasing becomes available to you.

What if you could do the same starting from a regular Linux system and migrating to an atomic one? That's one feature being explored with bootc that Ben Breard talks about in this video!

Update: Show will be rescheduled due to conflicts

Join us today at 5pm EDT (9pm UTC) for an update on the atomic world of Fedora on the Fedora Podcast! @siosm will be explaining what bootc is, how it relates to rpm-ostree, and how it relates to the *future of desktop Linux.*

Hint: image-based 👀

Was working today on kind of an entry piece for Community Design Team: a logo and new mascot for #Bootc (special type of container).

His name is Bootseef and he's ready to fly through updates! 🚀🚀 Thanks to Madeline Peck and Design Team for the sketches, sources and color choices that inspired me. 👋 I enjoyed doing this particular mascot the most.

@fedora.design and #CommunityDesignTeam have lots of work on their plate, so I invite aspiring and designers by trade to have a looksie-look in their GitLab issues. @fedora has engineering and other teams worth their gold, making software great, as well.
