Fedora CoreOS

Tested with stable version 37.20230322.3.0

Because package installation with rpm-ostree requires a reboot, playbook may fail while bootstrap. Restart playbook again.

Containers

Tested with

• containerd
• crio

Network

calico

To use calico create sysctl file with ignition:

files:
    - path: /etc/sysctl.d/reverse-path-filter.conf
      contents:
        inline: |
          net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=1

libvirt setup

Prepare

Prepare ignition and serve via http (a.e. python -m http.server )

{
  "ignition": {
     "version": "3.0.0"
  },

  "passwd": {
    "users": [
      {
        "name": "ansibleUser",
        "sshAuthorizedKeys": [
          "ssh-rsa ..publickey.."
        ],
        "groups": [ "wheel" ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
