So trishna just put out some content recently on how to build an
atomic host. While it's not the official way we do it, this [1] 
might be useful to you.

More officially we build an ostree using commands like these [2]
and the files from this [3] repo. Then we create an image using
imagefactory [4] (tutorial here [5]) with the kickstart from [6].

It might be worth chatting to get some more details on your goals and
how best to achive them. I'm @dustymabe in #atomic on Freenode.
