Fedora CoreOS

Tested with stable version 31.20200223.3.0.

Because package installation with rpm-ostree requires a reboot, playbook may fail while bootstrap. Restart playbook again.

Containers

Tested with

• docker
• crio

docker

OS base packages contains docker.

cri-o

To use cri-o disable docker service with ignition:

#workaround, see https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/229
systemd:
  units:
    - name: docker.service
      enabled: false
      contents: |
        [Unit]
        Description=disable docker

        [Service]

        [Install]
        WantedBy=multi-user.target

Network

calico

To use calico create sysctl file with ignition:

files:
    - path: /etc/sysctl.d/reverse-path-filter.conf
      contents:
        inline: |
          net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=1

libvirt setup

Prepare

Prepare ignition and serve via http (a.e. python -m http.server )

{
  "ignition": {
     "version": "3.0.0"
  },

  "passwd": {
    "users": [
      {
        "name": "ansibleUser",
        "sshAuthorizedKeys": [
          "ssh-rsa ..publickey.."
        ],
        "groups": [ "wheel" ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
