Cloud-OS

My personal Linux Fedora Silverblue image with a cloud-native approach.

Installation

1. Verify image:

cosign verify --key https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SimonWoodtli/cloud-os/main/cosign.pub ghcr.io/simonwoodtli/cloud-os:latest

2. Install Fedora Silverblue and boot it up
3. Rebase to cloud-os and reboot

sudo rpm-ostree rebase --experimental ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/simonwoodtli/cloud-os:latest
systemctl reboot

4. Setup cloud-os

just firstboot

Features

• Reliable, atomic updates with built in rollback
• Reduces time to configure Linux on a fresh install drastically
• Ships with flatpak, flathub only
• Ships with distrobox
• Ships with my terminal-centric Alpine Linux workspace
• Ships with Qemu/Virt-Manager
• Auto updates the base Fedora image and the my additional packages on a daily basis
• Hosted on ghcr.io

Upgrade

🧐 The reason we don't need to use rpm-ostree rebase is because it is already pointing to cloud-os:latest

To upgrade to the latest Fedora Version: sudo rpm-ostree upgrade (may also be used to just fetch the latest published version of cloud-os)
