Announcing Forester Project
Welcome to the Forester blog!
Forester is a hackathon project that was revealed on DevConf 2023 to the public and a web page is being created today. Special thanks to the docsy.dev template and Strojírna Novotný for images of their forestry machinery. For more info, pay a visit to loader.cz. And finally to my colleague Ondra Ezr for putting the initial version together.
I drawn the logo myself, it is supposed to be an arborist helmet that is widely used in forestry as well. A new, professional logo, will be hopefully announced on this blog in the near future.
I believe Fedora do not have a good unattended image-based bare-metal provisioning story and Forester is here for the rescue. I will report on this blog going forward as I gather more feedback from the community and Red Hat customers.
Please keep in mind that Forester is in early stage of development, it is currently not intended for production use as it lacks many planned features.
As always, please give us feedback on what you think about Forester.
Releases
Initial version 0.0.3
The first ever release!
I am happy to announce the first ever release 0.0.3. Previous versions were used for tuning the GitHub Action which builds the release artifacts and the third one was the first one to work properly.
Initial features:
- Image management and extraction
- Bootloader management
- Kickstart management
- Appliance creation and enlisting
- System list and show commands
- Acquire and release commands
- Containerized deployment
- Redfish and libvirt drivers
The version was tested on libvirt and Dell PowerEdge 350.
The main goal of this release is to gather feedback on the provisioning workflow.
