You would want to look at the [ucore project.](https://github.com/ublue-os/ucore) More specifically it is a variation of the [Fedora CoreOS project.](https://fedoraproject.org/coreos/) I also have interest in installing and using ucore for all the immutable benefits from bluefin but have been off put by the [installation process.](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/bare-metal/) I don’t think the CoreOS installer uses anaconda for an installer so an [Ignition file](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/producing-ign/) must be produced to do things like user creation, network setup, and filesystem layout. Since I just want to install ucore and forget about it, having to learn, create, and implement an ignition for a one off install seems like more work then it’s worth.

EDIT: reading through the [uCore section](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/c/ucore/8) of this form maybe you could just do [a normal bluefin install and then rebase to uCore?](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/re-basing-from-ublue-os-base/732/3) This would allow you to use anaconda for first time set up and then roll along with uCore updates.
