Derived bootc images for image builder

This repository contains a Containerfile for each derived image type used by image builder. The goal is to customize base bootc images of Fedora, CentOS Stream, or RHEL for the target environment (clouds, virtualization) by installing the tools needed for a successful installation or to align with Red Hat or cloud vendor recommendations.

It mirrors what is defined for package-based OS images in distro definitions: https://github.com/osbuild/images/tree/main/data/distrodefs, but there is no parity. The core image content comes from the base container, we just add additional software and configuration to make the image integrate nicely with the target environment.

Supported image formats

This is a work in progress, not all image formats are available.

• AWS EC2
• Azure
• GCE
• qcow2
• Anaconda installer

Supported bootable container base images

• quay.io/fedora/fedora-bootc versions N and N-1 (x86_64, aarch64)
• quay.io/centos-bootc/centos-bootc versions Stream 9 and 10 (x86_64, aarch64)
• registry.redhat.io/rhelXX/rhel-bootc (9 and 10) (x86_64)

Organization

Each Containerfile is prefixed with f for Fedora, stream for CentOS Stream, and rhel for RHEL containers, and suffixed with one of: qcow2, ec2, azure, gce, or installer.

Heredocs are not allowed in Containerfiles; files must be copied with COPY either from a common directory for the image type (for example qcow2) or from an OS version or architecture-specific tree (qcow2-amd64). Architecture names follow podman/docker conventions.

Comments explaining why are welcome.

Build pipeline

Images are built in Konflux and published on quay.io. Repositories with RHEL containers are private. Currently available images:

• quay.io/redhat-services-prod/insights-management-tenant/image-builder-bootc-foundry/rhel-10.1-qcow2:latest
