  • I’d recommend it, but would also recommend taking a look at Flatcar Linux which is more or less the same without the IBM dependency (which makes my stomach hurt sometimes).

    Why exactly are the IBM dependencies a problem for you?

    I used debian before for some years, but at some point became tired of manually updating the system (which is probably one of the biggest benefit of FCOS). It takes, however, quite some time to put your first Ignition config together, and debugging is tedious as you have to redeploy to see if a bug / error is now gone (I’ve used a VM for that).

    I can’t really find good resources on how FCOS is working and what are the benefits. Is it updating the system/kernel automatically as well as the containers? And what are generally, in your opinion, the advantages of FCOS?
