One of our goals since the server WG "reboot" was to cooperate with Cloud WG and to align Fedora Server and Cloud Base Image so that Base Image could reside as a virtual Fedora Server in a Fedora Server Edition non-cloud installation (among other things). I have briefly summarized the current state of discussion in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Server/VM_Image. After 6 months of trying, the result is that this plan is not viable. There is a lack of any preconditions for the implementation or realisation of such a plan. As a probably second best solution, we may look for a cooperation with an alternative VM image provider. Providers found so far: - virt-builder - oz-install Neither of them really fit (see above mentioned page) Does anyone know of another prospective VM provider?

Yes, it's well known, just as it is well known that the combination of virt-install, kickstart and simple is a 'contradictio in adjecto‘. :-) Goal is 'Facilitated and improved support for Fedora Server virtual machines‘. At the end, I guess, we need a well prepared disk image that we can simply pass to Cockpit and a minute later we have a running system. Running Anaconda is what we currently have to do. So, the suggestion fails ‚facilitated and improved‘, IMHO.
