Does a Fedora Silverblue rebase preserve rpm-ostree layered packages in newly created Toolbox containers?
Fedora Silverblue delivers an immutable base image via rpm-ostree, allowing developers to add packages with rpm-ostree install as layered overlays that survive atomic rebases. Toolbox containers provide mutable userspace environments tied to the host Fedora version, sharing the kernel and system libraries. The goal is to achieve a repeatable development envi
fedoraAtomic upgrade rollback behavior when /var contains application state
Atomic Fedora upgrades via rpm-ostree preserve the /var directory across deployments, but this creates uncertainty about rollback safety for stateful applications. Fedora Silverblue, Kinoite, and Fedora IoT use rpm-ostree for atomic upgrades that compose new OSTree filesystem trees without touching the running system until reboot. This design ensures interru
