ublue-custom  

These are customizations of upstream Universal Blue images, which themselves are customizations of Fedora CoreOS and Silverblue.

Prepare

These are atomic, ostree-based Fedora OCI images. ISO/LiveCD-packaged builds are not provided, so you will need to install by rebasing from an existing installation. If you do not yet have an existing system to rebase from, you will first need to install your choice of one normally (e.g. Silverblue/Bazzite/CoreOS/etc) before continuing. After completing the installation, you can complete the steps below.

Warning

If you are installing uCore (which is based off of Fedora CoreOS), rebasing from Fedora IoT or any of the Atomic Desktops (e.g. Silverblue) is NOT supported! CoreOS images must be provisioned with an ignition config and do not offer GUI installers. If ignition doesn't provide a desired feature, then CoreOS doesn't support that feature, and subsequently uCore won't either. Rebasing from a non CoreOS-based system to gain a filesystem feature or GUI installation is very likely to cause problems later on.

Images

Currently the following custom images are available:

• bazzite-gnome-badblocks (desktop/gaming-oriented)

  Based on Bazzite, a custom Fedora Atomic image built with cloud native technology that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices - including your favorite handheld.

• ucore-hci-badblocks (server/NAS-oriented; REQUIRES IGNITION)

  Based on uCore, an OCI image of Fedora CoreOS with "batteries included". More specifically, it's an opinionated, custom CoreOS image, built daily with some common tools added in. The idea is to make a lightweight server image including commonly used services or the building blocks to host them.

Rebasing

Rebasing is the only supported installation method for these custom images. To rebase an existing atomic Fedora installation to one of these custom builds, follow the steps below.

[!HINT] Be sure to replace <IMAGE-NAME> in the commands below with the actual image name you want to use.

• First rebase to the unsigned image, in order to properly import this repository's signing keys and policies:

  rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/badbl0cks/<IMAGE_NAME>:latest
  

• Reboot to complete the initial rebase:

  systemctl reboot
  

• Then rebase to the signed image:

  rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/badbl0cks/<IMAGE_NAME>:latest
  

• Reboot again to complete the signed rebase:

  systemctl reboot
  

Verification

These images are signed with Sigstore's cosign. You can verify the signature by downloading the cosign.pub file from this repo and running the following command:

cosign verify --key cosign.pub ghcr.io/badbl0cks/ublue
