Atomic WG

Project Atomic is now sunset
As of 2020, the Atomic SIG is dormant and has been for some time. The content of this page and others related to Atomic are preserved for historical reference and because some of the content is still useful and relevant, but the group is not active or holding meetings. Fedora CoreOS is the replacement for Atomic. Fedora Silverblue is the replacement for Atomic Workstation.

Fedora Atomic Working Group

The Fedora Atomic Working Group works to bring integrate new OS technology and tools from Project Atomic into Fedora.

Fedora Atomic Image Download Links

The links below are meant to allow for users to have a "single point of download" so that the location may be stored or used in a scripted way to always download the latest image.

A couple of things to note:

• The _latest URLs are simply 302 redirects to the actual image name and URL for the mirror network.
• The image that is actually downloaded will be unique for every release, its name will be the same as is located at _latest_filename, which has been provided for easy scripting.

Example script for x86_64 qcow2 image:

#!/bin/bash

image_name=$(curl -s https://getfedora.org/atomic_qcow2_x86_64_latest_filename)
curl -L https://getfedora.org/atomic_qcow2_x86_64_latest -o $image_name

ls -l $image_name

Legacy Download Links

Before adding support for multiple architectures on atomic download page, latest urls were pointing directly to x86_64 images. If you were using below links, this should still work but it is recommended to switch to updated urls.

Image	Latest URL	Latest Filename URL
Fedora Atomic qcow2	https://getfedora.org/atomic_qcow2_latest	https://getfedora.org/atomic_qcow2_latest_filename
Fedora Atomic raw	https://getfedora.org/atomic_raw_latest	https://getfedora.org/atomic_raw_latest_filename
Fedora Atomic Vagrant libvirt	https://getfedora.org/atomic_vagrant_libvirt_latest	https://getfedora.org/atomic_vagrant_libvirt_latest_filename

Fedora Atomic Image Checksum Links

The links below allow users to get checksum of latest downloaded Atomic Host images from a "single point of download" . These links can be stored or used in a scripted way to verify latest downloaded images.
