I’m running out of computers to put #universalblue images onto. My laptop has been on #bluefin since I think F38, and my home server is moving to #ucore when I get some spare time (I have already practiced in a VM what I want to do there).
I’m eyeing up other computers in the house now, like my kid’s windows laptop that won’t run Win11… :D
I’m a bit of a fanboy at this stage, but I really like the direction these system are going in.
#Linux

I just found a trick!

How to reinstall packages in #Fedora #Atomic desktop #downstream images like #uBlue (#Bazzite, #Bluefin, #Aurora, #uCore) or #Secureblue, that were removed in the image building process.

There is a bug in #rpmostree, that basically prevents you from reinstalling #Firefox if the builders decided to remove it.

Let's see how things go with my #UniversalBlue #ZFS image now.

Updated to install the #CoreOS stable kernel, along with ZFS kmod from #UCore akmods-zfs image.

Great that @jorge and friends put the work for CoreOS style bi-weekly kernel cadence, thank you very much 👍

@bitprophet seems very similar to what @UniversalBlue is doing, especially with #Bluefin. But so far I love using Bluefin. I do also love #Debian so might try VanillaOS on another computer or VM.

But yeah still looking to experiment with a headless immutable #homelab server OS that is, first of all, easy to install, and second, easy to manage (e.g. via Cockpit). I think Universal Blue’s #uCore does a lot of that but it’s confusing to install unless I’m just an idiot (likely).

Should I build a custom ucore image with Zerotier and Nomad, or should I just enjoy my existing homelab?

@killyourfm Let's GO! Very excited to read your articles over there again.

Bring some more #Linux knowledge to the masses.

I hope to hear you talk about my favorite OSes, the ones part of the Universal Blue project.

@Linux4Everyone I was thinking of setting up a #wikijs container on my #ucore server in my home to document some stuff for my home, games and random stuff.

Hopefully I can get my wife to look at it as well, maybe contribute information.

If anyone was curious about making a custom partition scheme for a single disk using uCore, I wrote a very short snippit that includes the important information of the butane file.

#uCore #ignition #servers

I am really digging atomic desktop systems. Between #Bazzite, Aurora-DX and #uCore, I am very happy with these systems for my desktops, laptops and #servers.

As I only need #ZFS, ssh and #podman for my server, the `ucore-hci:stable-zfs` gets it done. It was fun learning how to make a `butane` file and serve the `ignition` file to get setup. I just need to figure out how to mirror a BtrFS for `/sysroot` and then I will be golden.

I would like to thank @jorge and the rest of the team at #uBlue.

We have a server-focused custom image called uCore!

It's @fedora CoreOS + extra things like Cockpit and Distrobox. Also comes with versions that have Nvidia drivers and ZFS.
