Hi everyone,
I'm getting questions where people could get the ISO image with the
Anaconda Web UI. If you also have this question I tried to answer it here:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/isos-with-the-new-installer-are-they-available-yet/42448/2?u=jkonecny
TL;DR
Don't worry, we are planning to release it about a week after the F37
GA. The exact date could change.
Best Regards,
Jirka

This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes
process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive
community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved
by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
== Summary ==
The work on Web UI for the Anaconda installer has advanced enough so
that it is possible to create and publish self contained preview
images.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:m4rtink| Martin Kolman]]
* Email: mkolman@xxxxxxxxxx
== Detailed Description ==
Even though still very simple the new Anaconda Web UI is now far
enough to support a simple installation workflow from a self-contained
image while demonstrating all the main aspects of the new UI, such as:
* flexible Wizard layout
* responsive PatternFly components
* new style built-in help
* local and remote access to the Web UI
For this we will create a self-contained boot.iso style image with a
built-in tar-payload (so that the image can work even without network
access) based on the latest Anaconda upstream code.
We aim to have the image available for download just after the F37
release (so that the tar-payload can contain final F37 release
content) and then updated automatically in regular intervals.
That way the rather active Web UI development of the Web UI will be
reflected in the up-to-date installation image, as well as any
feedback and community PRs.
== Benefit to Fedora ==
The Anaconda Web UI will provide modern responsive user interface
based on a well known
and widely used toolkit (PatternFly) and backed by proven Cockpit tooling.
The screen layout is based on latest UX design guidelines as well as
usability testing of the new interface and extensive mockup work.
There are improvements in developer experience as well due to the more
modern & more mainstream UI technology chosen and powerful Cockpit
test tooling (rich unit-test as well as pixel-test framework). The
stateless property of the Web UI allows almost live-coding style of UI
development. This should make it easier to work on the Anaconda Web UI
for not only the Anaconda team, addon developer but also for any
interested contributors.
Remote Web UI access should also provide a much better experience than
the slow and inefficient VNC based remote GUI installation support
Anaconda has today. Due to no need for local rendering remotely driven
GUI installations on a constrained hardware with minimal installation
images should become possible.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
The Anaconda team will setup and maintain an automated Web UI preview
image creation pipeline, with the image being available via a web
server on the Fedora infrastructure.
It will be a '''preview image only''', not an official Fedora
deliverable and it will not influence Fedora release criteria in any
way.
* Other developers:
Other developers and Fedora users are welcome to try the image once it
is released and to provide feedback.
* Release engineering:
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Alignment with Objectives:
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
(not supplied)
== How To Test ==
Download the Anaconda Web UI preview image and boot it on VM or
hardware that contains no important data.
Install using the Web UI locally, alternatively try using the Web UI remotely.
The installed OS should be functional but its testing or any issues
with it are currently out of scope for the Anaconda Web UI preview
image.
To provide feedback use one of the Anaconda team communication channels:
* IRC: [https://web.libera.chat/#anaconda #anaconda] on libera.chat
* mailing list: anaconda-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/anaconda-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
* Github Discussion: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/discussions
== User Experience ==
Should be improved compared to the current GTK interface.
== Dependencies ==
(not supplied)
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: If we hit some blocking technical issues, the
image will be published later.
* Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change), Yes/No
== Documentation ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
