# Purpose
This repository is meant to be a template for building your own custom Universal Blue image. This template is the recommended way to make customizations to any image published by the Universal Blue Project:
- [Aurora](https://getaurora.dev/)
- [Bazzite](https://bazzite.gg/)
- [Bluefin](https://projectbluefin.io/)
- [uCore](https://projectucore.io/)
- [main](https://github.com/ublue-os/main/)
- [hwe](https://github.com/ublue-os/hwe/)
This template includes a Containerfile and a Github workflow for building the container image. As soon as the workflow is enabled in your repository, it will build the container image and push it to the Github Container Registry.

## Containerfile
This file defines the operations used to customize the selected image. It contains examples of possible modifications, including how to:
- change the upstream from which the custom image is derived
- add additional RPM packages
- add binaries as a layer from other images

## Workflows
2024-04-12 16:28:03 +00:00
### build.yml
This workflow creates your custom OCI image and publishes it to the Github Container Registry (GHCR). By default, the image name will match the Github repository name.
#### Container Signing
Container signing is important for end-user security and is enabled on all Universal Blue images. It is recommended you set this up, and by default the image builds *will fail* if you don't.
This provides users a method of verifying the image.
1. Install the [cosign CLI tool](https://edu.chainguard.dev/open-source/sigstore/cosign/how-to-install-cosign/#installing-cosign-with-the-cosign-binary)
2. Run inside your repo folder:
```bash
cosign generate-key-pair
```
- Do NOT put in a password when it asks you to, just press enter. The signing key will be used in GitHub Actions and will not work if it is encrypted.
> [!WARNING]
> Be careful to *never* accidentally commit `cosign.key` into your git repo.
3. Add the private key to GitHub
- This can also be done manually. Go to your repository settings, under Secrets and Variables -> Actions

Add a new secret and name it `SIGNING_SECRET`, then paste the contents of `cosign.key` into the secret and save it. Make sure it's the .key file and not the .pub file. Once done, it should look like this:

- (CLI instructions) If you have the `github-cli` installed, run:
2024-04-12 16:28:03 +00:00
```bash
gh secret set SIGNING_SECRET < cosign.key
```

4. Commit the `cosign.pub` file into your git repository
