OUTDATED DOCUMENT! The canonical version now lives at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/FedoraWorkstationImageBuilder !!! Summary Image builder is a set of modern tools for building operating system images. Its goal is to make the builds reliable and reproducible. Moreover, it's designed to give the end users a simple workflow to build their own custom images. The aim of this change is to switch the build tool for Fedora Workstation live ISO from livemedia-creator to image builder.

What happened Today, RHEL 9 mockbuild broke in osbuild CI. Basically, when mock was being installed, a lot of packages were updated, and during these updates, ssh connection dropped and couldn't be established again. Moar context Earlier this week, a mass RHEL 9 rebuild happened. As RHEL 9 is still in devel, this can break backward compatibility and updates. Also earlier this week, we redeployed composer.osbuild.org. There was kinda big change for the official RHEL 9 guest images - we now build them using v2 manifests (so basically the whole definition was rewritten from scratch). Our CI runs guest images in AWS (ec2 images are not yet available in RHEL 9). Yes, we build them on composer.osbuild.org. Yes, these are the images from the previous paragraph.
