[atomic-wg] Issue #450: investigate coreos ignition for use in Fedora
by Dusty Mabe 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

dustymabe reported a new issue against the project: `atomic-wg` that you are following: `` CoreOS has a project called [ignition](https://github.com/coreos/ignition) that hooks into early boot processes in the initramfs (i.e. before and after the root filesystem is mounted) and allows for configuration of the system. This is an alternative to cloud-init, that is focused on specific tasks. Let's investigate this for Fedora and Atomic Host. `` To reply, visit the link below or just reply to this email https://pagure.io/atomic-wg/issue/450

Finally installed Atomic - I love it! - one question
by Philip Rhoades 18 Feb '19

18 Feb '19

People, I have been following Atomic for a long time and have been wanting to test it out but other dramas have kept me busy . . I usually have my latest machine as my Fedora Workstation and my previous workstation as my server for about a dozen small web sites and as a mail list server. I have finally gotten around to buliding a new workstation with F29 and turning the old WS into the F29 server. So now I have been able to use the old server as the new Atomic host and as a consolidated backup machine for all my old backup hard disks - mostly SATA but going back to IDE and one old SCSI backup that I had an early version of RH running on a 386. Atomic is just what I wanted for this backup machine - small and fast and a platform from which I can learn more about Atomic. I do have one question though: Could I make a dd image of the old SCSI drive and get it booting as a virtual machine on the Atomic machine? Many thanks for all the work that has gone into Project Atomic and I hope to learn much more about it in the future - including hosting my Rails and Jekyll Docker images . . Regards, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: phil(a)pricom.com.au

Removing Atomic Host from Fedora Rawhide
by Dusty Mabe 15 Feb '19

15 Feb '19

Hello Fedora Atomic Host users, With the switched focus to Fedora CoreOS for the future of our immmutable, container oriented operating systems the last major release of Fedora Atomic Host was Fedora 29. Considering this we are removing the builds for Fedora Atomic Host from rawhide and will no longer be building that stream. If you are currently using Fedora Atomic Host on rawhide, please rebase to Fedora 29 so you'll continue to receive updates until Fedora 29 EOL. You can rebase with the command below. Please test this on some non-critical systems first. ``` rpm-ostree rebase fedora/29/x86_64/atomic-host ``` If you have trouble find me in #atomic or #fedora-coreos on freenode. Dusty

runc CVE-2019-5736 and Atomic Host
by Dusty Mabe 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

We are planning to do a release next week with updated versions of software that don't contain the exploit. We are not doing a release this week because there are two lines of defense that block this exploit on Atomic Host: 1. /usr/ is mounted read-only 2. SELinux is enabled by default SELinux blocks this exploit and /usr/ being read-only prevents the runc binary from being overwritten. Even if you had disabled SELinux /usr/ is still mounted read only so you're Atomic Host systems should be safe. Dusty https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-5736
