This Bluefin fork is based on [ublue-os/image-template] and extends the Bluefin base image with custom software adaptions and will be extended in the future to be used as my daily workstation OS.

Bluefin is a cloud-native desktop operating system that reimagines the Linux desktop experience for modern computing environments.

Packages to be added to the base image can be configured via packages.json. There are 2 sections. One for packages and one for repos. Repos should containe copr repositories and will be enabled with dnf enable.

Installation will use build_files/build.sh to parse packages.json and enable the packages before installing the packages.

The Justfile contains various commands and configurations for building and managing container images and virtual machine images using Podman and other utilities. To use it, you must have installed just from your package manager or manually. It is available by default on all Universal Blue images.

• image_name: The name of the image (default: "image-template").
• default_tag: The default tag for the image (default: "latest").
• bib_image: The Bootc Image Builder (BIB) image (default: "quay.io/centos-bootc/bootc-image-builder:latest").

Builds a container image using Podman.

just build $target_image $tag

Arguments:

• $target_image: The tag you want to apply to the image (default: $image_name).
• $tag: The tag for the image (default: $default_tag).

The below commands all build QCOW2 images. To produce or use a different type of image, substitute in the command with that type in the place of qcow2. The available types are qcow2, iso, and raw.
