I'm looking to rebase from Bazzite to Bazzite-DX, what should I be aware of or anticipate?
Wanted to do some work on news.abolish.capital today but realized docker isn't part of the Bazzite image and PodMan isn't an exact replacement. What exactly will happen once I rebase to Bazzite-DX?

All it does is replace what is preinstalled in Bazzite with what is preinstalled in Bazzite-DX after you boot into that new image. Which in this case the difference is just the addition of Docker and VSCode, essentially. So for you, it'll just add these programs. It'd be different if someone was coming from Aurora, for example, since that also doesn't bundle things like Steam and Lutris, which would be new additions to that system also.
I did this a few weeks ago because Winboat needed Docker (it now supports Podman anyway) and have had no issues.
For some reason, Bazzite-DX image updates are set to need manual approval by one of the devs pressing a button in Github, whereas the Bazzite ones push automatically. So there may be a slight delay on updates, but I do mean slight, like a day at most.
Edit: you can also just rebase back later, losing those programs, or boot your old Bazzite image if something goes wrong immediately. I rebased to Zirconium, a completely different image, then just rebooted back into my Bazzite image after trying it out.
This stuff is why atomic/bootc images are awesome. Your files are never touched (except when switching desktop environments, potentially) and you can do this kind of thing all day. Theres images based on Arch and Debian out there now too.

OK I just did it, that was really easy! Lol fuck windows. This rules. I wasnt sure my existing layers would stick but they did.

I’ve seen something akin to a trigger being added to Bazzite repo to have automatic release of Bazzite-DX, so here’s that :)

Out of curiosity, what has you hosting an internet facing service on bazzite?

Oh I'm not, I need to run a local instance of Lemmy to test my RSS Feed bot. I don't like chucking RSS feeds right into the live bot, so I spin up a localhost instance and make the bot post to that first.

Ah
E: I assumed your fqdn was running on bazzite.
I suspect its for development not hosting.
