There's also Elemental which is SUSE-oriented but distro agnostic https://github.com/rancher/elemental-toolkit https://github.com/rancher/elemental-toolkit I've been hoping NixOS moves in this direction over time, the distribution/rollout aspect seems under-baked currently.

What's the best way to start with Elemental today? I haven't been able to grasp a start point, unlike RKE/Rancher which is pretty easy to onboard.

  It depends what you're trying to do, but I was essentially following this guide: https://rancher.github.io/elemental-toolkit/docs/examples/embedded_images/ https://rancher.github.io/elemental-toolkit/docs/examples/em... updated to ghcr.io/rancher/elemental-toolkit/elemental-cli:v1.3.0 / registry.suse.com/suse/sle-micro-rancher/5.4 The whole project is in major flux now though, with v1.3 -> v2.1 being pre-release and docs haven't been updated, so I'm waiting for dust to settle before picking it back up. But basically `docker build` -> `elemental build-disk` -> qcow2/iso -> deploy / `elemental upgrade` update via OCI registry, or deploy vanilla image and then just update that via registry.

What do you think nixos is missing in this area?
