Great question! Elemental-toolkit should be able to run outside of a derivative, so the steps should pretty much be: • Build a derivative container image on a host using standard container tooling (docker/containerd/buildah...) • Build an ISO to install the derivative using elemental-cli (
elemental build-iso ...
) on host machine • Install the derivative on a VM/bare-metal machine using the ISO (
elemental install ...
) • Updates pushed to a registry and then run
elemental update ...
on the installed system
The toolkit also supports cross-platform build of derivatives using the --platform flag so you could build an arm64 container image + iso on x86 hardware and vice-versa... The only caveat is that the container tooling also must build the image for the target platform using something like docker-buildx
