SUSE Hack Week: containerizing MicroOS Desktop components

Project Description

Moving as much as possible of MicroOS Desktop into containers.

Goal is to reduce the need for a reboot of MicroOS Desktop to apply security update as much as possible. For most services, a restart of the container for the service should be enough.

Goal for this Hackweek

Improving the gdm proof of concept

Create other containers for other components used for MicroOS Desktop.

Maybe evaluate usage of flatpak instead of OCI containers for this (now that OBS is able to build flatpak).

Resources

gdm proof of concept

flatpak support in OBS

Very interesting, Dario already told me about this possibility and I'm very intrigued. Good luck next week in working on the proof of concept!
