Plans for Atomic Workstation in F27

Scope

We want to have an atomic workstation offering in F27, with the following:

  • installable using anaconda
  • receive regular updates during the F27 lifetime
  • support for updating the ostree image in gnome-software
  • rpm layering using rpm-ostree (commandline only)
  • add container-focused developer tools - oci-cluster (?)

Current State

  • Different effort:
    • rpm-ostree for base
    • flatpak for desktop apps
    • package layering for random things in between
    • pet containers
  • Anaconda needs work to provide a smooth experience
  • rpm-ostree layering works well, for the most part, but you need to reboot into the new image

Tasks

TBD

  • get gnome-software to support rpm-ostreed (need to sync with endless ostree effort)
  • Talk to QA team about testing
  • Figure out bodhi
  • Make sure we build updates often enough
  • Follow up with Owen about building flatpaks from rpms
