Yes, it's in both Fedora

and CentOS:

Basically, "where is the docker push equivalent"? So...we don't really
have that, and it's somewhat intentional, for the same reason the Docker
documentation discourages `docker commit` - the philosophy here is
you're generating something without recording *how* it was built and
hence it's not reproducible. (Well, at least not recording
As far as a "template" here though, it's basically just adding the
package names to the "treefile" json and doing a full compose, then
pointing those client systems at it via rebase. (Or doing an initial
kickstart install)
