Plans for Atomic Workstation in F27
Participants: Kalev Lember, David King, Alex Larsson, Matthias Clasen, Richard Hughes, Colin Walters, Patrick Uiterwick.
Scope
We want to have an atomic workstation offering in F27, with the following:
- installable using anaconda
- receive regular updates during the F27 lifetime
- support for updating the ostree image in gnome-software
- rpm layering using rpm-ostree (commandline only)
- add container-focused developer tools - oc cluster up
Current State
- Separate efforts:
- rpm-ostree for base
- flatpak for desktop apps
- package layering for random things in between
- pet containers
- Anaconda needs work to provide a smooth experience
- rpm-ostree layering works well, for the most part, but you need to reboot into the new image
Until we have tree building working in the fedora infrastructure, https://pagure.io/atomic-ws is the best place to get started.
We have building working in the fedora infrastructure now: https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/rawhide/latest-Fedora-Rawhide/work/x86_64/Workstation/ostree_installer/images/boot.iso
Polkit support has been merged in upstream rpm-ostree: https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/commit/84f6bcb4f0b4a97e84e26361bccab00316fc2c23
Tasks
Critical for F27
- get gnome-software to support rpm-ostreed (Kalev)
- need to sync with endless ostree effort
- look at cockpit for an example of a UI on top of rpm-ostreed dbus api
- Talk to QA team about testing (Matthias)
- Make sure we compose trees often enough
- Follow up with Owen about building flatpaks from rpms
Can be post F27
- Provide update descriptions and similar metadata
- Layering without reboot for new installs
- Mirroring for ostree (Colin)
- idea: delta-only repos
- git-like packing requires smart servers which our mirrors are not
Notes from April 19
- Patrick got nightly composes in the Fedora infrastructure almost going. There was a problem with building the install image. Expect this to work very soon
- Owen presented an update on his plan for building flatpaks from rpms: (insert link here)
- Kalev will add polkit support to rpm-ostreed, so we can use its dbus api directly from gnome-software
- David will set up koji and work on the rebuild-rpms-for-/app part of Owen's plan
