Why not use a distro that has the literally built in?

What would you like to see for something like that?

Oh, hey!!! Did you know that RHEL, CentOS Stream, & Fedora has been providing an image builder for a couple of years? All of these links below demonstrate functionality that you can do with CentOS Stream & Fedora, and even with the no-cost developer subscription for RHEL which unlocks 16 RHEL subs with tons of extra functionality. Many links below to help you easily learn to use it. We are actually using this tooling internally to beging building all of the image artifacts for all three of these linux distros. Eating our own dogfood; this is the future.

Also, below are links and some screenshots of the wicked cool new customizations that just landed in CentOS Stream and should come to RHEL 9.2 and Fedora soon.

- Install in your local Fedora/CentOS Stream box

dnf install -y osbuild-composer composer-cli cockpit-composer bash-completion systemctl enable --now osbuild-composer.socket systemctl enable --now cockpit.socketfirewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit && firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit --permanent source /etc/bash_completion.d/composer-cli
