Fedora bootc documentation references base images that are exceptionally minimal that are being published in registry.gitlab.com. What is the process to gain access to them?

There is probably a typo or inconsistency in the documentation. The correct link to the container registry is likely Container Registry · fedora / bootc / Base Images · GitLab.

Thanks, I can now pull down a minimal image.

skopeo sync --src docker --dest dir registry.gitlab.com/fedora/bootc/base-images/fedora-bootc-minimal:40-amd64 ~/.local/share/containers/bootc

Now to inspect it and figure out why it is 745MB as that does not jive with only having a kernel, systemd and bootc as the documentation indicated.

I haven’t test these images yet. The initiative is in its early stages and I think it is usual to have some ambiguities.
