I'm working on docker-machine integration for atomic host's. The problem I'm facing is the fact that "atomic" isn't defined under /etc/os-release, it's simply "fedora" or "centos" as the id.
At the moment the only viable way to determine if an OS is an atomic host or not would be 'ls /ostree' or 'rpm-ostree status' (correct me if I'm wrong). Unfortunately it would be bad coding practice to require SSH'ing into a machine via the Docker machine generic driver in order to determine if it is atomic or not before proceeding. Ideally, having this information within /etc/os-release would be the most ideal. Is there a possibility to add a description to /etc/os-release? Or perhaps using fedora22-atomic, fedora23-atomic, etc as a release id? Creating a standardized way for scripts (Ansible, docker machine, etc.) to detect if this is an atomic host or not? I did try 'uname -r' as well to try and determine if there was a specifically named kernel version for atomic hosts as an alternative to determining if it's an atomic host, but to no avail.
