## Installing and setting up a repository
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you have that done, choose a build directory. Here we'll use
|
||
|
|
/srv/rpm-ostree.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# cd /srv/rpm-ostree
|
||
|
|
# mkdir repo
|
||
|
|
# ostree --repo=repo init --mode=archive-z2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Running `rpm-ostree compose tree`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This program takes as input a manifest file that describes the target
|
||
|
|
system, and commits the result to an OSTree repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See also: https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree-toolbox
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The input format is a JSON "treefile". See examples in
|
||
|
|
`doc/treefile-examples`, as well as `doc/treefile.md`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# rpm-ostree compose tree --repo=/srv/rpm-ostree/repo --proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8123 sometreefile.json
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All this does is use yum to download RPMs from the referenced repos,
|
||
|
|
and commit the result to the OSTree repository, using the ref named by
|
||
|
|
`ref`. Note that we've specified a local caching proxy (`polipo` in
|
||
|
|
this case) - otherwise we you will download the packages for each
|
||
|
|
treecompose.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can export `/srv/rpm-ostree/repo` via any static webserver.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The use of `--proxy` is not mandatory but strongly recommended - with
|
||
|
|
this option you can avoid continually redownloading the packages every
|
||
|
|
compose. I personally use
|
||
|
|
[Polipo](http://www.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/~jch/software/polipo/),
|
||
|
|
but you can of course any HTTP proxy you wish.
|
||
|
|
|
||

## Treefile key documentation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `ref`: string, mandatory: Holds a string which will be the name of
|
||
|
|
the branch for the content.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `gpg_key` string, optional: Key ID for GPG signing; the secret key
|
||
|
|
must be in the home directory of the building user. Defaults to
|
||
|
|
none.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `repos` array of strings, mandatory: Names of yum repositories to
|
||
|
|
use, from the system `/etc/yum.repos.d`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `selinux`: boolean, optional: Defaults to `true`. If `false`, then
|
||
|
|
no SELinux labeling will be performed on the server side.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `boot_location`: string, optional: Historically, ostree put bootloader data
|
||
|
|
in /boot. However, this has a few flaws; it gets shadowed at boot time,
|
||
|
|
and also makes dealing with Anaconda installation harder. There are 3
|
||
|
|
possible values:
|
||
|
|
* "legacy": the default, data goes in /boot
|
||
|
|
* "both": Kernel data in /boot and /usr/lib/ostree-boot
|
||
|
|
* "new": Kernel data in /usr/lib/ostree-boot
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `bootstrap_packages`: Array of strings, mandatory: The `glibc` and
|
||
|
|
`nss-altfiles` packages (and ideally nothing else) must be in this
|
||
|
|
set; rpm-ostree will modify the `/etc/nsswitch.conf` in the target
|
||
|
|
root to ensure that `/usr/lib/passwd` is used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `packages`: Array of strings, mandatory: Set of installed packages.
|
||
|
|
Names prefixed with an `@` (e.g. `@core`) are taken to be the names
|
||
|
|
of comps groups.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `units`: Array of strings, optional: Systemd units to enable by default
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `default_target`: String, optional: Set the default systemd target
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `include`: string, optional: Path to another treefile which will be
|
||
|
|
used as an inheritance base. The semantics for inheritance are:
|
||
|
|
Non-array values in child values override parent values. Array
|
||
|
|
values are concatenated. Filenames will be resolved relative to
|
||
|
|
the including treefile.
