Titanoboa (Beta)

A bootc installer designed to install an image as quickly as possible. Handles a live user session and then hands off to Anaconda or Readymade for installation.

Mission

This is an experiment to see how far we can get building our own ISOs. The objective is to:

• Generate a LiveCD so users can try out an image before committing
• Install the image and flatpaks to a selected disk with minimal user-input
• Basically be an MVP for bootc install

Why?

Waiting for existing installers to move to cloud native is untenable, let's see if we can remove that external dependency forever. 😈

Components

• LiveCD

Building a Live ISO

just build ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin:lts
just vm ./output.iso

Builder Distribution Support

By default, Titanoboa uses Fedora containers for building tools and dependencies. You can now specify different builder distributions using the TITANOBOA_BUILDER_DISTRO environment variable:

• fedora (default): Uses quay.io/fedora/fedora:latest
• centos: Uses ghcr.io/hanthor/centos-anaconda-builder:main

Examples:

# Use CentOS Stream 10 for building
TITANOBOA_BUILDER_DISTRO=centos just build ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin:lts

# Use Fedora (default)
just build ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin:lts
