Build a bootable Anaconda installer ISO so Glarion installs directly onto blank hardware — no prior Fedora/Kinoite install required.

Plan document (source of truth): Obsidian vault, Personal/Projects/glarion/plans/2026-07-09-installer-iso.md.

Checklist:

  • .github/workflows/build-iso.yml (workflow_dispatch only, matching existing workflow style)
  • ISO built via bootc-image-builder from ghcr.io/glarion-os/glarion:latest (verify current invocation against upstream docs) — 6.2G, run 29085707859
  • SHA256SUMS generated alongside the ISO
  • Upload to Cloudflare R2 (S3 API; secrets mastered in Infisical glarion/prod, mirrored to GitHub Actions secrets) — bucket glarion (WEUR), public URL https://pub-27e8de4c5aa14382b04372b8f9be06a2.r2.dev, verified end-to-end (run 29094502491)
  • README "Fresh install" section (download URL, checksum verification, Secure Boot note, unattended-wipe warning)
  • Optional qcow2 build for VM smoke-testing (implemented as a workflow_dispatch input; not yet exercised)
  • Validated by booting on real hardware

Notes:

  • The anaconda-iso type is an unattended fire-and-forget installer: it erases the first disk found and installs without prompting. README carries a warning.
  • ISO 6.2G + qcow2 in the bucket together exceed the 10GB R2 free tier; overage is ~$0.015/GB-month (pennies) — delete the qcow2 after VM testing.
  • A try-before-buy live USB (OS runs from the stick, no install) is out of scope for bootc-image-builder; ublue's Titanoboa builds live ISOs from bootc images — candidate follow-up issue.
