6.10. Deploying a container image to bare metal by using bootc install

• bootc install to-disk: By using this method, you do not need to perform any additional steps to deploy the container image, because the container images include a basic installer.
• bootc install to-filesystem: By using this method, you can configure a target device and root filesystem by using a tool of your choice, for example, LVM.

Prerequisites

• You have downloaded a RHEL 10 Boot ISO from Red Hat for your architecture. See Downloading RHEL boot images.
• You have created a configuration file.

Procedure

• Inject a configuration into the running ISO image.

  • By using bootc install to-disk:

    $ podman run \
    --rm --privileged \
    --pid=host
    -v /dev:/dev \
    -v /var/lib/containers:/var/lib/containers \
    --security-opt label=type:unconfined_t
    <image>
    bootc install to-disk <path-to-disk>

  • By using bootc install to-filesystem:

    $ podman run \
    --rm --privileged \
    --pid=host
    -v /:/target \
    -v /dev:/dev \
    -v /var/lib/containers:/var/lib/containers \
    --security-opt label=type:unconfined_t
    <image>
    bootc install to-filesystem <path-to-disk>
