Bootc Alternative of SwayWM for Fedora

This repo was inspired by bootc for Desktops?? Tell me more!, with the assumption that if KDE is a viable option for bootc why not swaywm?

You can build the image by simply using make build, this will generate one image called sway-bootc.

It's possible to use the file config.toml to set the user/password and the ssh-key to be deployed in the image:

cp config.toml.example config.toml

To generate the inital ISO the following command can be used:

Build in qcow format:

sudo podman run \
    --rm \
    -it \
    --privileged \
    --pull=newer \
    --security-opt label=type:unconfined_t \
    -v $(pwd)/output:/output \
    -v $(pwd)/config.toml:/config.toml:ro 
    -v /var/lib/containers/storage:/var/lib/containers/storage \
    quay.io/centos-bootc/bootc-image-builder:latest \
    --type qcow2 \
    --rootfs btrfs \
     ghcr.io/odilhao/bootc-sway:latest

Building in anaconta-iso

sudo podman run \
    --rm \
    -it \
    --privileged \
    --pull=newer \
    --security-opt label=type:unconfined_t \
    -v $(pwd)/output:/output \
    -v $(pwd)/config.toml:/config.toml:ro 
    -v /var/lib/containers/storage:/var/lib/containers/storage \
    quay.io/centos-bootc/bootc-image-builder:latest \
    --type anaconda-iso \
    --rootfs btrfs \
     ghcr.io/odilhao/bootc-sway:latest

Here I'm using btrfs as filesystem, you can switch to xfs if necessary,

To test locally qemu or libvirt can be used:

qemu

qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -M accel=kvm \
    -cpu host \
    -smp 2 \
    -m 4096 \
    -bios /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd \
    -serial stdio \
    -snapshot output/qcow2/disk.qcow2

libvirt

sudo virt-install \
    --name fedora-bootc \
    --cpu host \
    --vcpus 4 \
    --memory 4096 \
    --import --disk ./output/qcow2/disk.qcow2,format=qcow2 \
    --os-variant fedora-eln
