Welcome to the Fedora CoreOS issue tracker. This tracker will be used to discuss new features for Fedora CoreOS and also important bugs that are affecting the project. Tickets with the meeting label will be taken as agenda items during the meetings. This repo is to be used primarily for development purposes. If you are a user and have questions please use the forum or the mailing list.

Fedora CoreOS Working Group

Fedora CoreOS is an automatically updating, minimal, monolithic, container-focused operating system, designed for clusters but also operable standalone, optimized for Kubernetes but also great without it. It aims to combine the best of both CoreOS Container Linux and Fedora Atomic Host, integrating technology like Ignition from Container Linux with rpm-ostree and SELinux hardening from Project Atomic. Its goal is to provide the best container host to run containerized workloads securely and at scale.

The Fedora CoreOS Working Group works to bring together the various technologies and produce Fedora CoreOS.

Roadmap/Plans

Fedora CoreOS is available for general use and no longer in preview. We're continuing to add more platforms and functionality, fix bugs, and write documentation. Please try out Fedora CoreOS and give us feedback!

Adding Packages to Fedora CoreOS

We often find people asking for a particular package to be added to the base set of packages included in Fedora CoreOS. One of the goals of Fedora CoreOS is to remain as lean as possible, without impacting overall usability for our users. Thus, new package requests are carefully scrutinized to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of adding an additional package.

If you would like to propose the inclusion of a new package in the base set of packages, please file a new package request.

Meetings

The Fedora CoreOS Working Group has a weekly meeting. The meeting usually happens in #fedora-meeting-1 on irc.libera.chat and the schedule for the meeting can be found here: https://calendar.fedoraproject.org/CoreOS/ Currently, meetings are at 16:30 UTC on Wednesdays.

Steps to run the meeting

• cd to a local checkout of this repo and git pull
• Ping meeting people in #fedora-coreos on libera.chat
  • bash meeting-people.txt
  • copy lines of output and paste into #fedora-coreos channel
• Navigate to #fedora-meeting-1 on libera.chat
• Type #startmeeting fedora_coreos_meeting
• #topic roll call

Wait for 2-4 minutes for people to check in for the roll call.

• #chair all the people present for the meeting
• #topic Action items from last meeting

Find the last meeting log from meetbot and post the action items in the meeting for people to update the status of.

• After they are done move to each meeting ticket from this tracker

Do the following for each ticket

• #topic Ticket subject
• #link link_to_the_ticket

During the meeting, you can give people action items for them to complete:

• #action <nickname> description of what needs to be done

When all topics are over, go for open floor:

• #topic Open Floor

After open floor, end the meeting.

• #endmeeting

Then, when convenient:

• Remove meeting labels from tickets that were discussed

• Send an email to coreos@lists.fedoraproject.org with the details of the meeting from meetbot page. Minutes in textual format are directly available using .txt as URL extension. It's easiest to get the Minutes/Minutes (text)/Log URLs by copying the footer that Meetbot prints after #endmeeting. You can see examples in the archives; the usual format follows:
