This is the configuration needed to create rpm-ostree based variants of Fedora. Each variant is described in a YAML treefile which is then used by rpm-ostree to compose an ostree commit with the package requested.
In the Fedora infrastructure, this happens via pungi with Lorax (templates).

Instructions to perform a local build of Silverblue:
# Clone the config
git clone https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config && cd workstation-ostree-config
# Prepare directories
mkdir -p repo cache
ostree --repo=repo init --mode=archive
# Build (compose) the variant of your choice
sudo rpm-ostree compose tree --repo=repo --cachedir=cache fedora-silverblue.yaml
# Update summary file
ostree summary --repo=repo --update
You can also use the justfile (see casey/just) to build both variants locally.
Instructions to test the resulting build:
-
First, serve the ostree repo using an HTTP server. You can use any static file server. For example using https://github.com/TheWaWaR/simple-http-server:
simple-http-server --index --ip 192.168.122.1 --port 8000 -
Then, on an already installed Silverblue system:
# Add an ostree remote
sudo ostree remote add testremote http://192.168.122.1:8000/repo --no-gpg-verify
# Pin the currently deployed (and probably working) version
sudo ostree admin pin 0
# List refs from variant remote
sudo ostree remote refs testremote
# Switch to your variant
sudo rpm-ostree rebase testremote:fedora/rawhide/x86_64/silverblue
# Reboot and test!
