No sshfs cell is listed for any release: fuse-sshfs is not packaged in
Rocky's BaseOS or AppStream for 9 or 10 (it lives in EPEL), and a base image
should not carry a third-party repository. rsync, nfs-utils and tree
are all in BaseOS, so every other sync method listed above is real.
How the images are built:
Each image is built automatically in the anyvm-org/rocky-builder repo's GitHub Actions: it downloads the official Rocky Linux GenericCloud image, customizes it (serial console, ssh, first-boot setup), boots it in QEMU, pre-installs the packages listed in the conf, and exports the disk as a compressed qcow2 image. No interactive installer is run.
Upstream media: the official Rocky Linux cloud images from https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/ (download page: https://rockylinux.org/download).
