Regarding nomenclature, going forward you probably want to be saying "CoreOS-like" instead of Atomic. See also https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/208 Now, it's possible to write files in `/etc` in `%post` - but they're *server side* defaults. And this gets to a much more important point - rpm-ostree or CoreOS style systems are just one instance of building "images" server side. Doing a `podman build` or mkosi or tons of other image delivery formats will also trip up on things like this. So one approach then is generally of "image-based" delivery mechanisms. (Of course, rpm-ostree is fairly unique in being a hybrid) Anyways, all of that aside: the correct thing is to have a systemd service - those always run client side. > Maybe /etc/machine-id could just be symlinked to /etc/nvme/hostnqn. > Or maybe the user should be responsible for setting it up themselves. > Or maybe installing nvme-cli could create an NQN but uninstalling > could leave it there? Or perhaps better, if /etc/nvme/hostnqn is ENOENT, then default to /etc/machine-id. For sending unique IDs over the network, there was also discussion recently of generating a hashed value for privacy, I forget in what context though. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
