I have been trying to figure out user creation when basing off a

quay.io/fedora-ostree-desktops/base-atomic

image. Running

bluebuild generate-iso --iso-name cerberus-desktop.iso recipe recipes/recipe-cerberus.yml

will generate an installer but this installer will not ask for user creation. From what I can tell, this is because the wrong image variant for generated iso but I see no way to force the specific variant? I feel I am missing something completely here regarding initial user creation. The image is otherwise entirely empty other than sddm since I haven't done other bits of install yet. I tried following what wayblue does for sddm setup but I suspect this is not going to solve my issues after trying it. I could see needing to include a desktop to make anything happen here. repository: https://github.com/i509VCB/verdigris

you probably want to use the

-V

option for this

bluebuild generate-iso --help
...
  -V, --variant <VARIANT>
          The variant of the installer to use.
          
          The Kinoite variant will ask for a user and password before installing the OS. This version is the most stable and is recommended.
          
          The Silverblue variant will ask for a user and password on first boot after the OS is installed.
          
          The Server variant is the basic installer and will ask to setup a user at install time.
          
          [default: kinoite]
          [possible values: kinoite, silverblue, server]

I guess I didn't see -V in help options? I'll try that

i guess nowadays you should use server for anything that is not gnome or kde

Dosent the server version have a different disk/partition layout by defualt ?

no idea
