Fedora CoreOS template for proxmox with cloudinit support

This is a fork of the Geco-IT repository

: https://git.geco-it.net/GECO-IT-PUBLIC/fedora-coreos-proxmox

Create FCOS VM Template

Configuration

• vmsetup.sh

TEMPLATE_VMID="1000"                     # Template Proxmox VMID 
TEMPLATE_VMSTORAGE="thin-ssd"           # Proxmox storage  
SNIPPET_STORAGE="local"                 # Snippets storage for hook and ignition file
VMDISK_OPTIONS=",discard=on"            # Add options to vmdisk

• fcos-base-tmplt.yaml

The ignition file provided is only a working basis. For a more advanced configuration go to https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/

it contains :

• Correct fstrim service with no fstab file
• Install qemu-guest-agent on first boot
• Install CloudInit wrapper
• Raise console message logging level from DEBUG (7) to WARNING (4)
• Add motd/issue
• Enable docker.service
• Reach 78+ on Lynis hardening score by tweaking sshd config, sysctl.conf and blacklisting unused drivers/protocols/file system

Operation

Before starting an FCOS VM, we create an ignition file by merging the data from the cloudinit and the fcos-base-tmplt.yaml file. Then we modify the configuration of the vm to add the loading of the ignition file and we reset the start of the vm.

During the first boot the vm will install qemu-agent and will restart. Warning, for that the network must be operational

CloudInit

Only these parameters are supported by our cloudinit wrapper:

• User (only one) default = admin
• Passwd
• DNS domain
• DNS Servers
• SSH public key
• IP Configuration (ipv4 only)

The settings are applied at boot

Hardening

This image has been configured to pass lynis hardening assessment, we are currently at a score of 82%
