From e71ccaf19805c5bcf5b07a029c9c538461c0da09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: obsidian-ai Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 01:52:31 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] docs(ROADMAP): persist install logs to USB by default (debug mode) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add to v0.7 scope: bootstrap ISO writes /var/log/anaconda + the resolved ks + ostreecontainer pull log + dmesg back to the USB stick into veilor-install-logs//. Toggleable via kernel cmdline inst.veilor.savelogs=0 for opt-out. ON by default through v0.7-v0.9; flips OFF for v1.0 final release. Why: failed install + bricked machine + no screenshots — operator boots back to a working OS, plugs the USB, reads logs offline. No more "please take a photo of dracut". --- docs/ROADMAP.md | 15 +++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+) diff --git a/docs/ROADMAP.md b/docs/ROADMAP.md index f1c8026..d781d5a 100644 --- a/docs/ROADMAP.md +++ b/docs/ROADMAP.md @@ -264,6 +264,21 @@ Scope: - `veilor-update` rewritten on `bootc upgrade` (was `dnf upgrade`) - Forgejo registry as primary OCI publish target; GHCR mirror optional - cosign key-pair signing of OCI image (replaces broken keyless flow) +- **Installer logs persisted to USB stick by default** (debug mode): + the bootstrap ISO writes `/var/log/anaconda/*` + the resolved + kickstart + ostreecontainer pull log + dmesg back onto the USB + install medium (mounted rw at `/run/install/repo` during install) + into a `veilor-install-logs//` folder.
