Bluefin's final form.

How dare you.

-- John Bazzite

projectbluefin/dakota is built on GNOME OS. This is a prototype and not ready and may bite.

• Consume GNOME nightly bootc image (done)
• Final assembly in this repo (done)

• Consume GNOME buildstream definitions and apply Bluefin changes:
  • Bluefin buildstream definitions @projectbluefin/egg
• Final assembly in this repo

• No dx image, everything in homebrew or sysexts

• Installation
• Ensuring upgrades and rollbacks work

git clone https://github.com/projectbluefin/dakota.git
cd dakota

Will build and run Bluefin in a VM. This image is based on GNOME50 so most of the desktop Bluefin changes don't work. The automation is in place though, just check back often to see progress.

To install Bluefin, you first must build the image locally using just build-containerfile. Downloaded images won't work right now with bootc install, see this issue for more details.

Before you can install Bluefin to your disk, you must first create a partition layout. The layout should be as follows:

• / (formatted as whatever you want, BTRFS subvolumes are supported)
• /boot (FAT32 formatted, ideally 2GiB or greater for kernel storage)

You can add a separate /home partition (or BTRFS subvolume) if you desire.

Mount your partitions to a directory (e.g. /mnt) like so:

sudo mount ROOT_PART /mnt
sudo mount --mkdir BOOT_PART /mnt/boot

And then run the following command to install Bluefin to /mnt:

sudo podman run \
    --rm --privileged --pid=host \
    -it \
    -v /etc/containers:/etc/containers:Z \
    -v /var/lib/containers:/var/lib/containers:Z \
    -v /dev:/dev \
    -e RUST_LOG=debug \
    -v "/mnt:/mnt" \
    --security-opt label=type:unconfined_t \
    "ghcr.io/projectbluefin/dakota:latest" bootc install to-filesystem /mnt/mnt --composefs-backend --bootloader systemd --karg splash --karg quiet

You will then have to modify the fstab file manually to add any additional partitions post-installation, bootc install does not do it for you.
