Welcome to the Fedora CoreOS issue tracker. This tracker will be used
to discuss new features for Fedora CoreOS and also important bugs that
are affecting the project. Tickets with the meeting label will be
taken as agenda items during the meetings. This repo is to be used primarily
for development purposes. If you are a user and have questions please use
the forum or the mailing list.
Fedora CoreOS is an automatically updating, minimal, monolithic, container-focused operating system, designed for clusters but also operable standalone, optimized for Kubernetes but also great without it. It aims to combine the best of both CoreOS Container Linux and Fedora Atomic Host, integrating technology like Ignition from Container Linux with rpm-ostree and SELinux hardening from Project Atomic. Its goal is to provide the best container host to run containerized workloads securely and at scale.
The Fedora CoreOS Working Group works to bring together the various technologies and produce Fedora CoreOS.

#coreos:fedoraproject.orgon Matrix - IRC:
#fedora-coreoson Libera.Chat (ircs://irc.libera.chat:6697/#fedora-coreos) - As of 2023-08-06 14UTC, the two rooms are not bridged together anymore thus writing a message to IRC will not reach Matrix users (and vice versa). Note that a lot of CoreOS developers have moved to Matrix thus the IRC channel is likely to get less attention and we recommend joining via Matrix. See Matrix to libera.chat (IRC) bridge unavailable. The meetings still happen on IRC for now.

Fedora CoreOS is available for general use and no longer in preview. We're continuing to add more platforms and functionality, fix bugs, and write documentation. Please try out Fedora CoreOS and give us feedback!
We often find people asking for a particular package to be added to the base set of packages included in Fedora CoreOS. One of the goals of Fedora CoreOS is to remain as lean as possible, without impacting overall usability for our users. Thus, new package requests are carefully scrutinized to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of adding an additional package.
If you would like to propose the inclusion of a new package in the base set of packages, please file a new package request.
See RELEASES.md.
The Fedora CoreOS Working Group has a weekly meeting. The meeting usually
happens in #fedora-meeting-1 on irc.libera.chat
(Webchat) and the schedule for the
meeting can be found here: https://calendar.fedoraproject.org/CoreOS/
Currently, meetings are at 16:30 UTC on Wednesdays.
As the Matrix/IRC bridge is down, it is currently not possible to attend the meeting from a Matrix account and you have to join using IRC. You can use the Webchat to temporarily join the meeting on IRC.
