When I started looking to move all of my VMs over to something lighter than RHEL, I settled on CoreOS. It's light, immutable, and has first-class support for podman. The problem was that the documentation for getting it running under Proxmox sucked. It still sucks, but I read all of it.

I also looked at the various howtos/scripts that set up CoreOS VMs. They all were either too complex (relying on terraform, etc...), skipped out on using the proxmox disk images provided by the CoreOS team [really, installing via ISO? No thanks!], or otherwise didn't work for me.

So, I did what any cranky ol' bastard would do. I wrote a bash script to do it for me.

Well kids, now you don't have to write the bash script. You can just use mine. It works, you can easily read it, and it won't set your dog on fire [I think].

I don't currently have my butane configs hosted publicly, but once I clean them up, I'll publish examples for all the services I'm running in another repo so you cool cats can crib what you need.
