  1. sysext-bakery

    Recipes for baking systemd-sysext images

    With static binaries that is not needed (and you can use OS=_any in the extension release file to mark them compatible).

    If you want to repackage distro binaries without recompilation, you can have a look here: https://github.com/flatcar/sysext-bakery/pull/74

  3. sysext

    Discontinued EXPERIMENTAL: ublue systemd-sysext

    https://github.com/ublue-os/sysext

    We have indeed been playing with this! We think it's a great compliment to extending an ostree OCI base image and hope to bolt on all sorts of goodies. Lots of cool innovation happening in this space right now, it's awesome stuff.

  4. scripts

    image build and composition scripts for Flatcar Container Linux (by flatcar)

    Incus on Flatcar is what I mean. This seems to be the PR you're talking about[1]. I'll keep an eye on it, thanks!

  5. bottlerocket

    An operating system designed for hosting containers

    Don't overlook Bottlerocket, which despite coming out of AWS is not (AFAIK) AWS-centric: https://github.com/bottlerocket-os/bottlerocket#readme

    It's also super handy for writing out static Pod manifests to have replace the brain-damaging Ignition as a less stupid alternative to cloud-init

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
