Installation

To rebase an existing atomic Fedora installation to the latest build:

• First rebase to the unsigned image, to get the proper signing keys and policies installed.

  rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/kerwood/cloud-os:latest
  

• Reboot to complete the rebase.

  systemctl reboot
  

• Then rebase to the signed image.

  rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/kerwood/cloud-os:latest
  

• Reboot again to complete the installation.

  systemctl reboot
  

The latest tag will automatically point to the latest build. That build will still always use the Fedora version specified in recipe.yml, so you won't get accidentally updated to the next major version.

Tips

Neovim

This image comes with barebone neovim. To unlock it's full potential install NVChad. It is very easy to install, stable and comes prepacked with a handful of usefull plugins.

https://nvchad.com/

Flameshot

A keybinding (Alt + p) is already preconfigured with this image, so below information is only needed if you want to change it.

As for the time of writing, if you are using Wayland (default) you will probably have some dbus permission issues as described here, a workaround is to launch flameshot from a shell script which is included in the image.

tldr; If you are using Wayland, set this path in your keybinding: /usr/flameshot/flameshot.sh

Ulauncher

A keybinding (Ctrl + space) is already preconfigured with this image, so below information is only needed if you want to change it. If you are using Ulauncher in Wayland you should set the keybinding manual as Ulauncher does not receive hotkey events when triggered from some windows (like terminal or OS Settings).

Oh My Zsh

This images comes with the zsh. To unlock it's full potential setup Oh My Zsh, its very easy.

Change your default shell to zsh.

chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh <user-name>

Go to https://ohmyz.sh/#install and install it with one command.
