We recently added a new project called bootc to our Github containers organization!
It is self-described as “Transactional, in-place operating system updates using OCI/Docker container images.” In an earlier blog, I described how you can use a standard Containerfile to build a bootable operating system for something like Fedora CoreOS. Bootc can then pull the OCI image from an image registry and apply it to your ostree-based operating system. This is really cool stuff.
There are direct and exciting applications for bootc with Podman and Podman machine. Stay tuned as these applications begin to bear themselves out. I promise you will soon see more blogs about this very topic.
