From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

this is going to be my personal experience of making custom ublue image. hopefully you will learn something from it.

so first of all you have to decide which Desktop Environment you want to use. I have chosen KDE but you can choose whichever DE you want. to see available DE you can go here. now copy the url of the image you want to modify. for my case it will be ghcr.io/ublue-os/kinoite-main:39.

create a file and name it Dockerfile. and add the following line to the Dockerfile

FROM ghcr.io/ublue-os/kinoite-main:39
# Install your favoutie program using rpm-ostree
RUN rpm-ostree install zsh fish neovim vim emacs kitty alacritty distrobox -y
# finally cleanup and commit the changes
RUN rpm-ostree cleanup -m && \
ostree container commit

save the file and run the following command in the current directory to build the image. (make sure you have docker installed on your system)

sudo docker build -t custom_image:latest .

you can now upload it to ghcr.io or rebase on it using rpm-ostree rebase command.

I hope this was useful. :)

Thank you OP for that, but... why should we prefer this over uBlue's work on streamlining this process?
