+# Anaconda Installer Container for bcvk
+
+This container provides the anaconda installer for installing bootc container
+images using kickstart files. It boots into `anaconda.target` and uses the
+upstream anaconda systemd services.
+
+## Overview
+
+The container is based on `quay.io/fedora/fedora-bootc:42` with anaconda-tui
+installed. It boots directly into `anaconda.target` and uses the upstream
+`anaconda-direct.service` with a bcvk setup service that runs beforehand.
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+cd containers/anaconda-bootc
+podman build -t localhost/anaconda-bootc:latest .
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. bcvk creates a target disk and generates a kickstart file
+2. bcvk starts the VM with:
+   - Host container storage mounted read-only via virtiofs
+   - Kickstart file mounted via virtiofs at `/run/virtiofs-mnt-kickstart/`
+   - Target disk attached via virtio-blk
+   - Kernel args: `inst.notmux inst.ks=file:///run/virtiofs-mnt-kickstart/anaconda.ks`
+3. The VM boots into `anaconda.target`
+4. `bcvk-anaconda-setup.service` runs first to:
+   - Mount virtiofs shares for container storage and kickstart
+   - Configure `/etc/containers/storage.conf` with additionalImageStores
+5. Upstream `anaconda-direct.service` runs anaconda (triggered by `inst.notmux`)
+6. Kickstart `poweroff` directive powers off the VM after anaconda completes
+
+## Integration with Upstream Anaconda
+
+This container leverages upstream anaconda systemd infrastructure:
+
+| Component | Source | Purpose |
+|-----------|--------|---------|
+| `anaconda.target` | Upstream | Default boot target for installation |
+| `anaconda-direct.service` | Upstream | Runs anaconda without tmux |
+| `bcvk-anaconda-setup.service` | bcvk | Sets up virtiofs mounts before anaconda (conditional on `bcvk.anaconda` kernel arg) |
+
+## Kickstart Requirements
+
+The user provides a kickstart with partitioning and locale settings.
+bcvk injects:
+- `ostreecontainer --transport=containers-storage --url=<image>`
+- `%post` script to repoint bootc origin to the registry (unless `--no-repoint`)
+
+**Important**: The target disk is available at `/dev/disk/by-id/virtio-output`.
+bcvk also attaches a swap disk, so use `ignoredisk` to target the correct disk.
+
+Example kickstart for BIOS boot:
+```kickstart
+text
+lang en_US.UTF-8
+keyboard us
+timezone UTC --utc
+network --bootproto=dhcp --activate
+
+# Target only the output disk
+ignoredisk --only-use=/dev/disk/by-id/virtio-output
+
+zerombr
+clearpart --all --initlabel
+
+# Create required boot partitions (biosboot + /boot)
+reqpart --add-boot
+part / --fstype=xfs --grow
+
+rootpw --lock
+poweroff
+```
+
+## Installed Packages
+
+See `packages.txt` for the full list. Key packages:
+- **anaconda-tui**: Text-mode anaconda installer
+- **pykickstart**: Kickstart file processing  
+- **Disk tools**: parted, gdisk, lvm2, cryptsetup
+- **Filesystem tools**: e2fsprogs, xfsprogs, btrfs-progs
+- **Container tools**: skopeo (bootc is in base image)
+
+## Debugging
+
+If installation fails, check the VM console output or journal:
+```bash
+# Run with console output
+bcvk anaconda install --console ...
+
+# Inside VM, check logs
+journalctl -u bcvk-anaconda-setup
+journalctl -u anaconda-direct
+cat /tmp/anaconda.log
+```
