  <img src="fedora-remix.png">
  <h3>Features</h3>
  <ul>
    <li>Tracking latest Docker builds and testing</li>
    <li>Built using Fedora RPM technology on the server side for a
      known base, but
      with <a href="http://live.gnome.org/Projects/OSTree">OSTree</a>
      on the client side for <i>fully atomic</i> upgrades.
    </li>
    <li>SELinux security for Docker container isolation</li>
    <li>A familiar Unix environment, with a writable <tt>etc</tt></li>
    <li>The ability to choose between multiple variant trees, with
        additional RPM content.</li>
  </ul>
  <h3>Installation (Prepared VMs)</h3>
  <p>The current release is <a href="/images/releases/">2014.2</a>.
    Images are available in both XZ-compressed qcow2 (for QEMU) and
    bzip2-compressed VDI (for VirtualBox).</p>
  <p>Using Vagrant:
    <pre>vagrant box add fb2docker http://209.132.179.157/images/releases/2014.2/vagrant/fb2docker-2014.2.box</pre>
  </p>
  <p>Automatically generated disk images (several times a day)
    are <a href="/images/auto/">available here</a>.</p>
  <p>Vagrant: See <a href="/images/releases/</p>
  <p>Log in as <tt>root</tt>, there is no password.  Inside the
    system, use <tt>ostree admin upgrade</tt> to download the latest
    code, and then <tt>reboot</tt>.  Upgrades
    are <a href="https://github.com/cgwalters/rpm-ostree/commit/ad46ed72f9ab3053b54f63d4dab87160dcb85866">GPG
    signed</a> for security.
  </p>
  <h3>Installation (Inside existing Fedora 20/EL 7 Beta)</h3>
  <p>A unique ability of OSTree is to safely parallel install
     operating systems into the new <tt>/ostree</tt> directory.  This
     will work on at least Fedora 20, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
     Beta.  First, ensure you have OSTree 2014.1 or newer.</p>
  <pre>
    yum install ostree
    ostree admin os-init fb2docker
    ostree remote add --set=gpg-verify=false fb2docker http://209.132.179.157/repo
    ostree pull fb2docker fb2docker/20/x86_64/buildmaster/core/docker
    ostree admin deploy --os=fb2docker fb2docker:fb2docker/20/x86_64/buildmaster/core/docker
    cp /etc/fstab /ostree/deploy/fb2docker/current/etc
  </pre>
