ISO/installer release

Opened this issue · 0 comments

A later aim of this project will be to create a distro that's straightforward to install (without relying on Ansible).

Some thoughts from @tecleandor@sidraco.in on Mastodon:

For building custom ISOs I don't have reference of any "universal" builders, but by memory there are a couple things that maybe can align with your ideas.

For Ubuntu, customizing the preseed file (plus probably adding the needed packages to the iso):

I don't have much experience with Alma Linux (or Red Hat/CentOS for that matter), but perhaps Red Hat's Image Builder can work with Alma images:

I'm not in front of my computer now but maybe checking Alma and Ubuntu CI processes for creating their ISO images can give some light to the generation process.
