Thanks for making this tool and showing how to get started with the layering!

Do you have any thoughts you’d like to share on flatcar as the other project with CoreOS lineage?

As for me my main difficulties have been figuring out what to do with these projects in a bare metal environment. Building VM images is cool, but much of the time I want to do things like install to an existing drive or even onto a ZFS pool underneath.




I think Flatcar is alive and well. I haven't used it personally so I can't really comment much on it.

As for building VM images, I don't actually do that in my setup. I just use the base FCOS image, boot it with a barebones Butane to configure disks and then use the CoreOS Layering features to setup my workload.

If you want to use ZFS on your setup, check out https://github.com/coreos/layering-examples/blob/main/build-... which has an example of building the ZFS on Linux module so you can setup your ZFS pools.
