Help us test Fedora IoT and Fedora CoreOS for the release of Fedora 41!

If you're familiar with Fedora Atomic Desktops, then these editions will not seem so different aside from the server use case.

Both test days are running from today, Oct 7 to Friday, Oct 11.

More details on how to participate: https://fedoramagazine.org/contribute-at-fedora-coreos-and-iot-test-week/

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

Manual action needed to resolve boot failure for Fedora Atomic Desktops and Fedora IoT.

Since the 39.20240617.0 and 40.20240617.0 updates for Atomic Desktops and the 40.20240617.0 update for IoT, systems with Secure Boot enabled may fail to boot if they have been installed before Fedora Linux 40.

Details in https://fedoramagazine.org/manual-action-needed-to-resolve-boot-failure-for-fedora-atomic-desktops-and-fedora-iot/

The Fedora Project is taking rpm-ostree and atomic systems to the next level with our bootc community initiative!

The goal is to evolve Fedora Atomic Desktops, Fedora CoreOS, and Fedora IoT to incorporate bootable containers. You will get the benefit of an atomic OS on your computer while unlocking a world of customization through the cloud native development model.

Due to a bug in rpm-ostree, the '/etc/[g]shadow[-]' files in Fedora CoreOS, Fedora IoT and Fedora Atomic Desktops have the world-readable bit set.

To fix impacted systems immediately, run the following command as root:
$ chmod --verbose 0000 /etc/shadow /etc/gshadow /etc/shadow- /etc/gshadow-

Reminder that we have the Fedora IoT Test Days this week! From April 3-7, help us test:

* Basic installation to different media
* Installing in a VM
* rpm-ostree upgrades, layering, rebasing
* Basic container manipulation with Podman
* And more!

Ever wondered how to build your own Fedora IoT Remix for your Raspberry Pi? Well, I thought so and wrote an article on the FedoraMagazine for you!

I'm going through some details there how to use rpm-ostree to build your very own commit based filesystem

Make sure to leave a comment, questions or if you want to read about something specific next

Now grab your favorite hot beverage and enjoy the read

My new post about Fedora IoT remix will go deeper into utilizing Gitlab CI to build your OS updates from a git repositories commits automatically.

It was quite a journey getting all the tech to play nicely together. Many more specifics and complexity then anticipated.

Unfortunately this probably won't work "out-of-the-box" on the gitlab instance of your choice. Had to hack some runners together.

I've published a new post on my tech blog on using RPM-OSTree-Engine to build and maintain your own Fedora IoT Remix fairly easily.

A remix basically allows you to ship your own configuration of Fedora IoT from a git repository to all devices you've setup.

E.g. you could maintain a dedicated Fedora IoT as Pi-Hole distribution.

This is a real fun journey so far

I've continued my blog (after roughly three years - yay!) with a post on my current custom Fedora IoT journey

#FedoraIoT is a minimalistic, nifty #Linux targeted for a wide variety of different hardware (architectures) that I use at work as well as on my Raspberry Pis at home. I'm having a lot of fun working with this beautifully designed OS (slightly opinionated there) which I'm going to share with you
