Setting up SSH access and starting containers at boot
Complete all the steps described in the xref:tutorial-setup.adoc[initial setup page] before starting this tutorial. Make sure you have create file `ssh-key.pub` following the instructions provided in the https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/tutorial-setup/#_ssh_public_key[prerequisites] for the tutorial. We will use this key in the Butane configuration file that we are about to write.
In this tutorial, we will set up SSH access and start a container at boot. Fedora CoreOS is focused on running applications/services in containers thus we recommend trying to run containers and avoid modifying the host directly. Running containers and keeping a pristine host layer makes automatic updates more reliable and allows for separation of concerns with the Fedora CoreOS team responsible for the OS and end-user operators/sysadmins responsible for the applications.
As usual, we will set up console autologin, a hostname, systemd pager configuration, but we will also:
Add an SSH Key for the `core` user from the local `ssh-key.pub` file.
Add a systemd service (`failure.service`) that fails on boot.
Add a running container via a Podman https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-systemd.unit.5.html[quadlet systemd.unit container file].
This `etcd-member.container` will then be associated with a `etcd-member.service` on the running system.
`etcd-member.service` will launch and manage the lifecycle of the container using `podman`.
Writing the Butane config and converting to Ignition
Similarly to what we did in the second provisioning scenario, we will write the following Butane config in a file called `containers.bu`:
