I've used the info in this blog post for playing with lxc chroots: https://www.berrange.com/posts/2013/08/12/running-a-full-fedora-os-inside-a-libvirt-lxc-guest/ > Another idea I've done some limited research to, is there an option of > Anaconda itself that would do this.

You can use anaconda --dirinstall to run a kickstart that will install to a directory and skip all the storage stuff (WARNING: It shouldn't eat your system, but I'd err on the side of caution and use it in a VM or spare system). --dirinstall was added in anaconda-19.5 and will only install to /mnt/sysimage so you need to bind mount that someplace else useful. As of anaconda-21.44 you can pass a directory to --dirinstall to make things a bit easier. -- Brian C.
