olm-build of bootc images

[randomlygeneratedname1]

Hi
Would you consider building an olm version of the bootc images you publish on ghcr.io?

That would streamline the process of updating an bootc on bare metal system and make it possible to just pull from ghcr.io and not have to build your own images.

Or even better, have a prebuilt Anaconda ISO for the bootc versions under releases. That would make it very easy to install an atomic version of MicroShift.

Thanks!

@randomlygeneratedname1 , thank you for the suggestions.

Can you explain a bit more about your installation workflow? What do you mean by "olm version of the bootc images"?

P.S. Building an Anaconda ISO is certainly a possibility.

@ggiguash, thanks for the quick reply!

I build an Anaconda ISO using bootc-image-builder. I then use that ISO to install on bare metal or VM. I much prefer atomic/image based versions of OSes! (and it would be more in-line with regular OKD/OpenShift wouldn't it?)

If you prebuilt an Anaconda ISO of the bootc image, it would lower the bar for new users to get MicroShift up and running. And the installed system could just pull patch level (Z) updates directly from ghcr.io from the regular bootc image.

How I built the Anaconda ISO (my config.toml I excluded here for obvious reasons):
sudo podman run \ --rm \ -it \ --privileged \ --pull=newer \ --security-opt label=type:unconfined_t \ -v ./config.toml:/config.toml:ro \ -v ./output:/output \ -v /var/lib/containers/storage:/var/lib/containers/storage \ quay.io/centos-bootc/bootc-image-builder:latest \ --type anaconda-iso \ --use-librepo=True \ ghcr.io/microshift-io/microshift:release-4.20-4.20.0-okd-scos.9

By OLM version, I mean an bootc image built by you that includes microshift-olm (Operator Lifecycle Manager).
