For a fireside chat with creators and maintainers of #SpecialPurposeOS #Linux distributions like #Flatcar or #Kairos at #FOSDEM, please drop by our SPOS BOF Session: Today (Saturday) 5pm in K4.401.
No matter whether you're curious, a user, or a maintainer - drop by and join us!
(Also, please boost!)

Blogged about #imagebased #linux os composability with #systemd #sysext and our upcoming #torcx deprecation in #Flatcar #Container Linux: https://www.flatcar.org/blog/2023/12/extending-flatcar-say-goodbye-to-torcx-and-hello-to-systemd-sysext/
If you haven't heard about torcx, don't worry about it. It's a rather specific tool for a very limited use case. Sysexts on the other hand make customising immutable, image-based Linux distros like Flatcar a lot more flexible!

Anyone has experience with Fedora CoreOS, Flatcar or OpenSUSE MicroOS..
Do u daily drive it on ur server? How is it compare to normal distros?
And how do you install on bare metal.. The docs are super confusing 🥲

Digital Sovereignty isn't just for nations!
Now that the desktop has reached The Final Shape we turn attention to our homelabs.
Been making great progress on this, we're at v .8. This one is boring. Knuckle just installs flatcar.
But we want cloud native magic so we're building "Bluefin Server" but not sure on the name. And it'll run flatcar, and in there your magical bootc factory runs and your bluebuild just worked ootb. And the Fedora one will come with coreOS, tekton, forgejo, konflux, etc.
A place for both - if we design the homeserver and desktop as one unified WHOLE, we could do a ton more stuff. The tech is already finished.

Been trying to cook up a systemd-sysext for crowdsec + crowdsec firewall bouncer to extend the base flatcar container linux image. Surprisingly straightforward with the sysext bakery.
However, crowdsec needs a mutable folder where it can write stuff (e.g logs etc.). This defaults to /var/crowdsec/data. I can create the /var/crowdsec/data folder but when crowdsec attempts to create and write to the logs folder below this I see a permission error.
Am I missing something obvious? Anyone know how I can fix this?

Spent some time thinking about a #DevOps flow for agency-sized orgs working on web applications.
The idea is using #nix to pack a reproducible dev environment and build a docker image from it, which will be deployed on a container-host OS like #flatcar .
Principles:
- must be usable for small-sized projects on private infra or cloud providers
- must be development-first, so 1:1 parity between a local environment and production and no DevOps gates during deployments
- everything outside the dev env should be minimally intrusive
- OSS and lightweight sw is preferredLocally we would have a nix-shell with runtime, toolchain (dependency managers and such) and a webserver. Also obv the app's git repo.
Then we would have a *build node* that acts as a docker registry and an online dev env. A simple pipeline would:
- pull the git repo
- build the docker image with nix
- push it to the local docker registry
- run the image and serve it.
This is automatable in a number of ways, including Ansible straight from the dev's machine without external CI tools.The *prod node* would leverage Flatcar's init system to pull the latest the docker image and run it at boot, the provisioning can be done manually or via Terraform.
All testing (including security) runs in the dev environment.
Environment variables are also managed inside the application (with something like dotenvx) with appropriate secret management, keeping in mind that every build is a prod build, and all else is dev.Database and observability systems are to be considered external dedicated services. Static assets (like media files) on the prod node are stored in a volume keeping the same paths as dev's.
Basic status-based orchestration can be done in docker leveraging healthchecks. -
Recording for my #froscon talk on shipping #kubernetes as a #systemd #sysext and painless in-place updates on #Flatcar #Linux is now available: https://media.ccc.de/v/froscon2025-3330-immutable_turtles_all_the_way_down#t=25

Calm before the conference. If you're at #FrOSCon check out the Flatcar booth right at the Mensa, next to #KairOS and near #Fedora #CoreOS.
I have a #Kubernetes #Sysext talk on #Flatcar #container #linux at 6 tomorrow, and @tormath1 will follow up with a hands-on tutorial on Sunday at 4.

Having “fun" with #ansible, #kubespray, and #flatcar linux.
Note "fun" encompasses a wide range of emotions at this time, including, but not limited to: 😀 🤬 🤔 🤦🏻♂️ 😮

I rarely talk about work here, but this took quite some effort of the team and fellow maintainers:
https://pixelrobots.co.uk/2025/11/flatcar-container-linux-on-aks-first-look/
Today, we add #Azure #AKS to our list of hosted #Kubernetes offers that support #Flatcar #Container #Linux. It's not the first, and it sure won't be the last. Documentation is here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/flatcar-container-linux-for-aks
