Do you run an image-based Server? (feddit.de)

I use Fedora Kinoite daily and find it to be the only OS to make sense really.

I find Fedora CoreOS totally confusing (with that ignition file, no anaconda, no user password by default, like how would I set this up anywhere I dont have filesystem access to?)

But there are alternatives. I would like to build my own hardened Fedora server image that can be deployed anywhere (i.e. any PC to turn into a secure and easy out-of-the-box server).

As modern server often uses containers anyways, I think an atomic server only makes sense, as damn Debian is just a pain to use.

Experiences, recommendations?

I tried IOT too and it the bootloader didnt install.

Then I just installed Atomic Sway (because not that much bloat), and before logging in rebased to secureblue server-main-userns-hardened. It worked but I have no DNS? Damn...

@Pantherina have you checked if systemd-resolved is working properly and that systemd-networkd or networkmanager is used? only one of them shall be used. i had a similar issue when upgrading from 38 to 39 because then both were active. i'm using NetworkManager on my desktop and disabled systemd-networkd and then it worked..

Strange, Fedora39 to Fedora39, I use that atomic base always (like 15 different installs, GNOME, Plasma6, Secureblue, Cosmic, Sway,...)

I see. At least systemd-resolved needs to be running and /etc/resolv.conf needs to be 127.0.0.1

I rebooted and now it works. /etc/resolv.conf is not the file you edit, but that localhost DNS is interesting. Saw that a long time ago (Obi wan face)
