Fedora developers have proposed adding web-based remote installation support for Fedora 45 Atomic Desktop images through the Anaconda WebUI, extending remote deployment capabilities to variants including Silverblue and Kinoite. The feature would allow an administrator to boot a target system with the kernel parameter
inst.webui.remote
and then complete the installation from another machine using a web browser over HTTPS.
The proposal describes the capability as opt-in and plans to ship it initially as a technology preview. Fedora says access would be protected with PIN-based authentication and encrypted HTTPS communications, but the change still requires approval from the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) before it can be included in Fedora 45 Atomic Desktop releases.
