Installer…
by Plummer, Kit
Trying to install Fedora IoT onto some older embedded X86 SBCs. I see the installer launch, and briefly ‘anaconda’ with some output saying the installer is starting. But then a black/blank screen on my VGA monitor.
What am I doing wrong? The docs I’ve seen don’t really show me, even for rPi.
TIA.

Proposal: add "quadlet" to handle simple systemd-managed containers
by Matthew Miller
In short: quadlet is a systemd generator which makes it easy to define
container options in simple systemd-style config file, from which
corresponding systemd units are created on the fly.
This seems like an ideal way to manage single-node (or otherwise
stand-alone) container setups. Right now, I'm using a bunch of files
created with `podman generate systemd`, and while that works, it's also kind
of a management mess.
See
https://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2021/10/12/quadlet-an-easier-way-to-run-sys...
for an intro post and the project at https://github.com/containers/quadlet.
Smooge has packaged this into the main repo -- Rawhide but F36 build coming
soon.
I propose:
1. We include this in the base ostree package set.
2. We document it as the primary way to set up containers on Fedora IoT
for single / independent systems.
3. We provide feedback to the project on how this could serve real-world use
cases better.
What do you all think?
