Hi all ,
I could use some advice regarding, running MicroOS on an intel NUC running as a server. currently I have fedora server edition running several containers such as home assistant and nextcloud using podman and systemd unit files ( the best feature of podman in my opinion)
Would running microOS be the best option to switch to ?
I run all my containers rootless run using my user and manage the server, not that it requires alot from cockpit. I have a ssd mount that I use for nextcloud I have this mounted to the system and then mount it as a volume in the nextcloud container as well as accessing the storage via SFTP, is this still possible with microOS?
would it be easy to switch to apparmor from SElinux?
I take it that connecting a zigbee device will still function the same on an immutable install ?
and finally my understanding is that I require a usb connected with a combustion or ignition file to boot can this not be on the internal SSD with the filesystem? or is this not how it really works.
any other considerations that might cause issue running as a server?
sorry for the ignorance , I’m still very new to understanding immutable filesystems.
thanks in advance

How are we supposed to tell you what will be the best for you? If you consider changing to another distribution then you probably have some missing features or something does not work as expected/desired. If you explain what is missing or what does not work someone may answer whether it is improved in MicroOS.
MicroOS is using SElinux, IIRC it does not even install AppArmor by default.
This is only used for the initial configuration and even then you can configure everything manually. It is not in any way mandatory.

Sorry what I meant was is microOS the best option from opensuse , I guess the other option is leap without a desktop environment.
I was considering microOS because I had an issue a while back where the fedora server became unbootable. It was an issue with the kernel or something like that but I can’t remember what the log said now, I had to re install to fix it. But honestly I use opensuse on my laptop , so I thought a switch on my server would be an option also. Just not sure thr route to take.
Thats good to know , no changes there then
Well I’m glad I asked , so with the installer I can manually set it up and I end up with an immutable filesystem no additional config required. Good to know .
Thanks for thr advice much appreciated
@greylinux Hi, if it’s a server setup, then would suggest the self install image to keep to a minimum and use combustion to configure from the get go…
With combustion I setup root user password, ssh key, hostname, ip address, install some additional components (for cockpit mainly) and done…

Is this running on a NUC?
Did you use combustion from a USB and then remove it after the first boot ?
@greylinux Yes a Beelink MiniS Intel N100/16GB Ram…
What I do prior to a hardware install is use Vagrant and MicroOS to test and get it all working on my desktop, once happy, just pull the USB device, lay the MicroOS image onto a NVMe device and pop that in, attach the USB boot and done…
Is the /home directory persisted from start or something that has to be configured, If I use the installer to configure rather than a combustion file ? All my systems unit files for my containers are stored there.
Also for my understanding, if I mount a second drive from cockpit for example does this create an overlay for the fstab file in /var that gets applied on boot to /etc ? Is this how it works ?
Can I create a regular user from the installer or do I have to create this after first boot as all my container are run from the regular user ?
And final question do I have to disable auto update so that my server doesn’t reboot every 24hours or is this default disabled ?
This is all starting to sound like I would benefit from using config generator to create a combustion file to configure my system
Also I’m not sure I understand how to copy the self install image to disk , unless I use a nvme adapter and dd the image to it. Which means removing the drive from the NUC
You boot from self-installation ISO image and follow the prompts.

@greylinux Yes I I use the following to put the image onto the device, can be by booting from say a USB live with the image on another device, for me I have NVMe to USB devices I use;
xzcat openSUSE-MicroOS.x86_64-16.0.0-SelfInstall-Snapshot20230519.raw.xz | dd bs=4M of=/dev/sdc iflag=fullblock oflag=direct
The self install image doesn’t have the auto reboot feature.

I added /dev/sda after install, but make any mount points with combustion, or via transactional-update shell after (and reboot).
Like I say, test with a virtual machine first to get everything sorted…

Just giving microOS Aeon a spin on an old thinkpad to trial a few of the caveats like using disrobox. I got to say I really like it.

@malcolmlewis So I have been tinkering today with getting the self install image to work with my combustion config. However after installing the self install iso on my test laptop , the first boot fails with failed to start combustion.
the usb is formatted ext4, ignition as the label (i tried combustion originally), with a directory combustion, the script file and my public ssh key inside.
this is my combustion config so far .
#!/bin/bash
set -e
## Enable network
# combustion: network
## Post output on stdout
exec > >(exec tee -a /dev/tty0) 2>&1

can you see any reason for the failure?
@greylinux Hi, the disk label needs to be combustion, the group for users is now username, not ‘users’ group… eg `username:username’.
As in the word ‘username’ or harrison:harrison for example?
I’ll change the label back to combustion and see what happens
@greylinux as in harrison:harrison

Thanks for you help so far really appreciate it
Just out of interest have included all the required packages for cockpit to work ? I’ve seen mention of cockpit-ws?
I take it I would need to add cockpit-storage and cockpit-network as well .
Also any other recommended packages to include for ease of use ?
ok so still the same issue here is the rdsosreport logfile

@greylinux for cockpit I just use the bridge to connect from my desktop (running cockpit-ws) to the various MicroOS systems. So I install cockpit-bridge cockpit-system cockpit-tukit cockpit-networkmanager cockpit-storaged cockpit-podman Then connect via <https://<my_host>:9090/=<my_remote_system>/system/>
For my user, I just use useradd -m $USER_NAME.
@greylinux also can you check the disk space… df -kh /
I changed useradd as you suggested
I cant seem to use df -kh / as it is in health checker emergency mode , so very basic shell
