This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee. == Summary == Offer Fedora IoT users a new method to create and deploy customized Fedora IoT disk images using a new installer called Simplified Installer. == Owner == * Name: [[User:runcom| Antonio Murdaca]], [[User:pwhalen| Paul Whalen]] * Email: amurd...@redhat.com, pwha...@fedoraproject.org == Detailed Description == The Fedora IoT Simplified Installer will use coreos-installer to write an OStree raw image straight to a disk specified in a kernel argument, without the need for a kickstart or user interaction. This type of installation is ideal for devices connected at the edge where connectivity can be slow or intermittent. It offers the ability to configure the system via osbuild itself, FDO and Ignition. == Feedback == == Benefit to Fedora == The addition of the Fedora IoT Simplified Installer will benefit IoT users by allowing them to create customized disk images for use on their edge devices. This feature is already available downstream, adding it to Fedora will once again bring Fedora back to the true upstream of RHEL for edge and allows testing and adoption of new functionality like FIDO Device Onboarding. == Scope == * Proposal owners: ** Test building Fedora IoT Simplified Installer with `osbuild-composer` ** Update Fedora IoT documentation with usage instructions. * Other developers: * Release engineering: * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with Objectives: == Upgrade/compatibility impact == * Not applicable to this change. == How To Test == Testable by installing `osbuild-composer` in Fedora 38 and using the command line tool or the Cockpit web interface to create a Fedora IoT Simplified Installer iso to deploy a UEFI enabled edge device. == User Experience == This change will greatly enhance the Fedora IoT user experience by allowing users to utilize `osbuild-composer` and blueprints to create customized Fedora IoT deployments and leverage new features like FIDO Device Onboarding for secure zero touch device onboarding of edge devices as well as Ignition to configure the device once it starts. == Dependencies == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Contingency Plan == * Contingency deadline: Beta * Blocks release? No. * Blocks product? No. == Documentation == * Usage documentation to be written and included in the [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/iot/user-guide/ Fedora IoT user guide]. == Release Notes == -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
