This post explains how to install K3s on Fedora CoreOS. K3s is a lightweight Kubernetes distribution and Fedora CoreOS is an image-based Linux distribution for containerized workloads. With Fedora CoreOS, you get a bulletproof, minimal host system with atomic updates. Installing K3s allows you to deploy applications using standard Kubernetes tools like kubectl and helm. Honestly, why wouldn’t you use production-grade container orchestration to self-host an RSS reader or whatever? Table of contents Where we’re going Prerequisites Create the ISO Testing in a VM Install on bare metal from USB Install K3s Connect to the server with kubectl Configure graceful node shutdown Reinstall without losing data Conclusion Where we’re going By the end of this tutorial, we will have created a USB stick to install Fedora CoreOS and K3s on a bare metal machine. Booting from the USB stick transforms any computer into a fully-functional, single-node Kubernetes cluster!

The Fedora Project is proposing a new contributor status called “Fedora Verified” to better recognize all forms of community contribution, and we need your feedback. Following the Fedora Council 2026 Strategy Summit, Fedora leadership is reflecting on how we recognize, support, and empower the people who make Fedora possible. Please read through our proposal below […] The post Fedora Verified: Help Shape a New Way to Recognize Fedora Contributors appeared first on Fedora Community Blog.

For the minimal presence that Fedora Project had during FOSSASIA 2026, I am excited to share that we had a successful representation at the event, tending to upwards of 400 visitors, at the courtesy of our friends at GNOME Foundation and KDE e.V. sharing their booth space with us. Conversations ranged from hardware enablement for ARMv9 devices to onboarding contributors to Fedora Infrastructure, and from community-wide discussions around AI-assisted contribution policies to sharing how Fedora Linux is the best place to start from to contribute to enterprise distros. As I unpack my experiences from FOSSASIA 2026, I cannot help but rejoice, reminiscing about the conversations that I have had with the following folks. - Mishari Muqbil not only organised a FOSSASIA Unofficial Cycling Trip, but also helped us visitors from afar connect as humans before contributors. 🚴 - Hong Phuc Dang welcomed us Fedora Project folks, as not just the founder of FOSSASIA but also as the force multiplier of the community. 🫂 - Mario Behling spent a great deal of time understanding how Fedora Infrastructure uses pretalx and how it compares against EventYay. 🛜 - Norbert Preining had been an enthusiastic host to my talk about the Fedora Badges Revamp Project scheduled at the tail end of the event. 🤠 - Aaditya Singh extended his embrace to us by allowing us to station at the GNOME Foundation community booth in a symbiotic representation. 💪 - Pongsakorn K also housed us at the KDE e.V. community booth while expressing their interest in RPM software packaging in Fedora Linux. 🧑‍🎓 - Simon Strohmenger and I had a deep conversation around how policies around AI-assisted contributions are rather crucial in this day and age. 🏛️ - Daniel Blueman found our collective to be the right place for his study on sustainable computing and hardware enablement on ARMv9 laptops. 🐿️ - Harish Pillay and I had a great discussion on how speakernotes can be used to create presentations using generative LLMs (you read that right). 🎥 - Folks from ExpressVPN organising the FOSSASIA Hackathon felt like kindred spirits with their approach towards FOSS contributions. 🌐 - Rajan Shah was one of the critical reasons why speakers in the Training Rooms were able to effortlessly conduct their presentations. 🤝 - Samyak Jain (and his laptop) had been an amazing support in helping my presentation about onboarding folks to Fedora Infrastructure succeed. ✈️ - Countless folks who visited us to state just how proud they were of using Fedora Linux and/or contributing to Fedora Project when they could. 🩷 - Countless folks at their community booths that presented projects with pride and connected with visitors with love in the open source way. 💡 With the learning and excitement at the event being as addictive as it was, I am already looking forward to visiting FOSSASIA 2027 with Fedora Project! #foss #opensource #fedora #release #infrastructure #community #redhat #fossasia

After a full year of preparation, the Community Linux Engineering (CLE) team is excited to announce that Fedora Forge, powered by Forgejo, is ready for use! We are proud of this modern Open Source platform and what it means for the future of Fedora Infrastructure.
