I agree with what Dusty recommended, it would be easier to use Silverblue ISO and using a custom kickstart that point the install at your custom OSTree repo/ref
If you still want to create your own ISO, few pointers which may help you to understand how we build Fedora Silverblue ISO today:
- We use lorax command to build ISO
- Command which was used to build F31 Silverblue ISO is in log
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/31/Fedora-31-20191023.0/logs/x86_64/Silverblue/ostree_installer-3/runroot.log . On the top of the log you will see a big lorax command passing various options. Lot of them are repos link which points to packages source location. Interesting line to pick from the log is the one which starts from " + lorax --product=Fedora --version=31 --release=1.9 "
- Various configs options which was used is available at
https://pagure.io/pungi-fedora/blob/f31/f/fedora-final.conf#_747 . It contains links to different repos used as well
Hope this helps.
