I just managed to install my first bootc based system but I ran into many roadblocks on the way there. First off, a little bit of details about the machine I am trying to install on. It is an arm64 based VM with 8gb RAM and 512 GB disk. When following https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/bootc/bare-metal/#_using_bootc_install I failed horribly at first because downloading the image etc happened in RAM quickly filling up the RAM (also live cds and their ramfs is usually not a setup that makes podman happy, ie no working overlayfs etc). I finally managed to install by pre-partitioning the system and added a special partition there where I could store the image (essentially mount /var/lib/containers to that partition). I haven't tried the anaconda based method yet.
So to come back to the actual question: What is the recommended way to get a bootc based system on a VM where your best option is to upload a custom ISO that you can boot from.
