Fedora Project

Fedora CoreOS is great for the server use case, but it might be tricky for someone new to it. How does it use rpm-ostree? What is Butane? What are Ignition files? But once you get going, it might be your new favorite way to manage a homelab (and more)!

Fedora Magazine · Unlocking the power of Fedora CoreOS - Fedora MagazineThis post contains different cool use cases and unique capacities for Fedora CoreOS in modern infrastructure deployments.

@fedora been using Fedora CoreOS on my home server for a few years now and have been generally happy with it. I use the network boot + run from ram option and have it reboot + provision with ignition once a week to "erase your darlings". Also allows me to version control the config so updating is easy

@fedora I mostly went fedora because my company uses Red hat Enterprise Linux for our appliances. I simply need to know more about how this works under the hood as I'd like to get certified in the next year or so. I figured since Fedora and RHEL share a common DNA, moving my desktop and laptop at home to it will help me get a bit more understanding of what's going on under the hood.
