To help people get an impression of bootc this commit adds an example how to install bootc to a disk-image and boot it with qemu.

Arguable this example is not complete as there is no way for the user to login in right now and maybe some example how to use the host would be nice but this might be a useful start.

[draft as it's mostly here to get a discussion going if this is useful and if so if it should be in the README or somewhere else, also we might want to discuss if we use the new --via-loopback instead of this manual setup and if we can put this into the auto-testing infra]

Hi @mvo5. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a containers member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes/test-infra repository.

Given that #281 is already merged, I suppose this can be closed. I would want to ask however if we can make this part of the README still maybe? To give people a quick success when they want to try it out?

Remember bootc is intending to be a generic, distro/OS independent project; it's intended to be a component of the distro/OS (like podman); we can't in general be "the" frontend. The container image you reference already has some docs which talk about stuff like this, so I think in general we should just point people at that. Closing but without prejudice, I know this is a tricky topic and we should figure out how to generally include generic instructions here and link to specific downstreams.
