Provisioning Fedora CoreOS on DigitalOcean
This guide shows how to provision new Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) nodes on DigitalOcean. Fedora CoreOS images are currently not published directly on DigitalOcean, so you must download a Fedora CoreOS DigitalOcean image and upload it to your DigitalOcean account as a https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/images/custom-images/[custom image].
Prerequisites
Before provisioning an FCOS machine, you must have an Ignition configuration file containing your customizations. If you do not have one, see xref:producing-ign.adoc[Producing an Ignition File].
Fedora CoreOS has a default `core` user that can be used to explore the OS. If you want to use it, finalize its xref:authentication.adoc[configuration] by providing e.g. an SSH key.
If you do not want to use Ignition to get started, you can make use of the https://coreos.github.io/afterburn/platforms/[Afterburn support].
You also need to have access to a DigitalOcean account. The examples below use the https://github.com/digitalocean/doctl[doctl] command-line tool and https://stedolan.github.io/jq/[jq] as a command-line JSON processor.
Creating a DigitalOcean custom image
Fedora CoreOS is designed to be updated automatically, with different schedules per stream.
Once you have picked the relevant stream, find the corresponding DigitalOcean image on the https://fedoraproject.org/coreos/download/?stream=stable#cloud_images[download page] and copy the URL of the Download link.
Create the custom image:
Example uploading FCOS to a DigitalOcean custom image
doctl compute image create my-fcos-image --region sfo2 --image-url <download-url>
# Wait for image creation to finish
while ! doctl compute image list-user --output json | jq -c '.[] | select(.name=="my-fcos-image")' | grep available; do sleep 5; done
The above command uploads the image and waits until it is ready to be used. This process can take a long time, in our testing we have seen it take up to 15 minutes. Wait time is dependent on upload speeds and platform load.
Launching a droplet
If you don't already have an SSH key uploaded to DigitalOcean, upload one:
Example uploading an SSH key to DigitalOcean
doctl compute ssh-key create my-key --public-key "$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)"
