Some examples:

Blue Build based -
1. github.com/alexandregv/...
2. (mine) github.com/fu5ha/winter
3. More complex modifications github.com/sihawken/cac...

Manual version -
github.com/ublue-os/ima...

You could choose for example ghcr.io/ublue-os/base-main as base image and build up on top.

Thanks to the upstream open source communities who helped and developed to the benefit of EU_OS!

1) #foreman with #bootc facts export also for Fedora: copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/rriema...
2) #bluebuild with local deployment of OCI containers for better development github.com/blue-build/c...
Package bootc in rriemann/eu-os

@bluebuild@fosstodon.org Is there a way to use BlueBuild with #Codeberg yet? (https://calebh.top/?p=191)

Fun part is that you can build your own too, and have GitHub deliver it to your computer every day, so you can literally not give a care about maintenance.

do u know about bluebuild? it's supposed to be much easier than whatever the fuck the regular way of making fedora atomic images is, i haven't messed with it myself but my gf has made a few images and it looks pretty simple

I feel like there might be a more elegant way to do this with Nushell.

I reckon I can create a dataframe with screenshot source, screenshot destination, and game as columns.

currently working on refactoring and upgrading https://github.com/cyrneko/ublue-niri, so that it can move away from being Fedora-Atomic-Sway based and to upgrade it to Fedora 42 :3

gonna do this whole thing from-scratch now, shoutout to @bluebuild for finishing the dnf module!

I just had a terrible idea looking at this for 1 second, what if nix generated the whole bluebuild "config"

Debian live build. Bluebuild. All this fussing about with declarative shit you'd think I'd want to just learn Nix and be done with it. Well, it's not off the table.

Back to using GitHub for Bluebuild images.

My self-hosted solution stopped working suddenly. Hard to tell what is the exact problem. Especially when it was working fine yesterday.

Big Tech wins, again. Ah well.

Success, made a bluebuild image based on bluefin that installs a bunch of apps and theme things automatically: github.com/icidasset/bl...

To install an image you can rebase on it or make an ISO: blue-build.org/learn/univer...

Theming stuff needs work though, doesn’t seem to install properly.

I really like having a single source of truth for configuration stuff, for a while I was doing custom BlueBuild (Fedora Atomic images with Yaml configuration) but it's too picky and builds would randomly break. NixOS is a good middle ground but some stuff isn't happy with the weird paths for stuff.

Hiy'all! This account was just moved from fosstodon.org. See the old account: @bluebuild@fosstodon.org

This switch was of course triggered by recent drama, but regardless of that situation being mostly resolved I (xyny) felt like Hachyderm would be a nicer plays to be in the future, thanks to […]

I also need to figure out how to mount a zpool on uCore. The ZFS module will be loaded, detect the zpool, and attempt to mount it at /naspool. Only the root filesystem is read-only on uCore, so that gonna be a problem. There is some documentation on the Bluebuild site on how to work around this.
January 27, 2026 at 8:58 AM
I'm not ready to jump ship from Debian right now, but I have a concept of a plan. I'm going the Bluebuild declarative route with a uCore base image. I have a recipe for it that's not quite finished. I need to back up some Docker volumes on the current Debian NAS.
January 27, 2026 at 8:58 AM
In this case? a) use a distro that doesn’t suck in the meantime b) pester the ublue devs to merge a PR with the minimal amount of effort to get Nix working c) roll a custom image (with bluebuild or otherwise) that either contains the packages you need or creates a /nix folder so you can install nix
July 27, 2025 at 2:13 AM
a bit of both. its immutable but they provide Homebrew by default and you can layer in additional fedora packages if you need to (but generally discouraged unless its the only way)

Blue Build is a good way to do big customizations on immutable fedora

Yeah, you can just install one of the ublue distros from iso and be on bootc immediately. Then rebase from there to wherever you want. See also blue-build.org, building on top of ublue core images is a great way to go, or on top of one of their high level distros if it's close to what you want

I'm using GitHub until I figure out how to do CI with Forgejo.
