IoT Simplified Installer
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
Summary
The Fedora IoT Simplified Installer uses coreos-installer-dracut module to write an OStree commit straight to disk, without the need for a kickstart or user interaction.
Owner
- Name: Antonio Murdaca, Paul Whalen
- Email: amurdaca@redhat.com, pwhalen@fedoraproject.org
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora Linux 38
- Last updated: 2023-01-11
- FESCo issue: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
- Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
- Release notes tracker: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
Detailed Description
The Fedora IoT Simplified Installer will use coreos-installer-dracut module to write an OStree commit straight to a disk specified in a kernel argument, without the need for a kickstart or user interaction. This type of installation is ideal for devices connected at the edge where connectivity can be slow or intermittent.
Feedback
Benefit to Fedora
The addition of the Fedora IoT Simplified Installer will benefit IoT users by allowing them to create customized disk images for use on their edge devices. This feature is already available downstream, adding it to Fedora will once again bring Fedora back to the true upstream of RHEL for edge and allows testing and adoption of new functionality like FIDO Device Onboarding.
