ov-vms/skills/aurora-bootc/SKILL.md
kind:vm entity pairing with the /ov-foundation:aurora bootc container image. source.kind: bootc. Thin pointer skill — composition + layer stack authority lives in /ov-foundation:aurora. This skill documents only the VM resource sizing. MUST be invoked before editing aurora-bootc in vms.yml.

kind: vm entity that pairs with the /ov-foundation:aurora container image. ov vm build aurora-bootc runs bootc install to-disk against the aurora image to produce a bootable qcow2/raw disk.
Composition authority: /ov-foundation:aurora. Layer stack, base image, tests, and OCI labels all live there. This skill is a pointer; it only documents the VM-specific delta (disk_size / ram / cpus).
vms:
aurora-bootc:
source:
kind: bootc
image: aurora
disk_size: 80 GiB
ram: 12G
cpus: 4
| Setting | Value | Rationale | |---|---|---| | Disk size | 80 GiB | Aurora DX ships full KDE + NVIDIA drivers + toolchain; baseline image footprint is ~30 GiB uncompressed | | RAM | 12G | KDE desktop + NVIDIA stack + ov toolchain working set | | CPUs | 4 | Standard workstation-class dev VM allocation |
Firmware, machine, network, and SSH settings fall back to VmSpec defaults (see /ov-vms:vms). Override locally in vms.yml if the paired image changes its init system or boot requirements.
# Enable aurora in image.yml first (disabled by default)
ov image build aurora # container image must exist before the VM disk install step
ov vm build aurora-bootc
ov vm create aurora-bootc
ov vm start aurora-bootc
ov vm ssh aurora-bootc
See /ov-advanced:vm "Known bootc-VM caveats" for the rootful storage split (engine.rootful=sudo needs sudo podman load of the saved tarball to reach root's storage) and the nested-container --transport containers-storage pattern.

OpenCharly CLI (charly) binary installed into container/VM images for in-container use. Use when working with charly binary deployment inside containers, native D-Bus support, or the full charly toolchain (charly binary + virtualization + gocryptfs + socat).
development
Operator CachyOS workstation profile — a kind:local template + target:local deploy that installs the full dev stack (30 candies) onto a CachyOS host via ShellExecutor. Lives in the overthinkos/cachyos submodule. MUST be invoked before editing or applying the charly-cachyos workstation profile.
tools
Fedora box with the full charly toolchain using shared candies. Rootless-first — runs as uid=1000 with passwordless sudo (no root, no cap_add: ALL). Same candy list as charly-arch. Includes NVIDIA GPU runtime. MUST be invoked before building, deploying, configuring, or troubleshooting the charly-fedora box.
tools
Arch Linux box with the full charly toolchain. Rootless-first — runs as uid=1000 with passwordless sudo (no root, no cap_add: ALL). Composes /charly-coder:charly-mcp so the box is reachable as an MCP gateway on port 18765. NVIDIA GPU runtime composed in. MUST be invoked before building, deploying, configuring, or troubleshooting the charly-arch box.
