Hi folks.
I have been using RHEL8 for servers because our system has a license with RHEL8.
I can find rocky8 image from https://hub.docker.com/u/warewulf but not rhel8.
Do you have any turnkey rhel8 image or at least any plan for building in the near future?
Or could you share how to build a bootable image so we can try it ourselves?
Thanks.

Can you pull an official image from the Redhat registries with podman and convert it to something warewulf can import? I don't have any Redhat systems to test that on, but it seems like pulling official images from them would be a good place to start.

Jose,

I'm also working on this. I tried to use the image, UBI redhat 8.7 from podman then imported it in wwctl but no luck. It wouldnt boot up.

Some time this week, I will share some screenshots of the errors...

BTW, I just wanted to add this. If anyone is interested in helping, you can sign up for a free RedHat subscription that is valid for one year.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you have a moment, could you open an issue for this at https://github.com/hpcng/warewulf-node-images/issues?

I'd want to try to do this by starting from https://hub.docker.com/r/redhat/ubi8, as previously indicated, but I'd be interested to see any prior attempts and the issues you've run into.
