I am not using it with immutable config, so the only thing flatcar is doing is it has an A and a B partition for
/usrthat it switches between on updates (such that it can always rollback to the last working system).I only used ignition for the initial setup, after that I just ssh in to the machine and change systemd services via /etc/systemd/system (such as added new mounts, using systemd unit's for running docker containers etc.)
Adding a user is initially done: https://www.flatcar.org/docs/latest/setup/customization/adding-users/
The idea is that all software you need to run except for systemd and some utilities (more or less what is in busybox) are run in containers, which i think was the same deal with RancerOS.
Gotcha. Thanks!
