Document how to build a disk image with a custom or patched package and test it with bink. Covers two approaches: - Runtime update via bootc switch (no disk rebuild) - Full disk image rebuild for boot-critical changes Includes concrete examples for COPR repos, local RPMs, binary replacement, and building bootc from source using the bootc repo's Dockerfile with the bink node image as base. Closes: bootc-dev#91 Signed-off-by: HarshwardhanPatil07 <harshpat@redhat.com>

Very nice guide, thanks for writing this! |
- Add composefs origin path variant alongside ostree path - Add composefs verification commands after reboot - Add bootc status store field check to identify deployment backend - Expand composefs variant section with build, verify, and integration test commands using bootc status JSON fields (.store, .composefs) - Add composefs row to decision table and NODE_IMAGE_COMPOSEFS to Makefile reference - Rework privilege warning to N.B. with full podman build example - Remove COPR opt-in warning note (contradicts current direction) - Drop "Testing with Multiple Nodes" section (superfluous) - Drop entire Troubleshooting section (lint is self-explanatory, rest unnecessary) - Simplify Scenario C to use bootc node image as base instead of duplicating build-rootfs Signed-off-by: HarshwardhanPatil07 <harshpat@redhat.com>
