Colin Walters 44b39a7340 livefs: Require deployment staging
Staging fixes the `/etc` bug for livefs.  There's actually more
we could do here around taking advantage of staging for livefs;
for example, I think once the livefs is complete, we could just delete
the staged deployment.  And then we don't need to render on the next
boot the live status, etc.

Anyways, all that can come in the future.  This is prep for
enabling staging by default.

Closes: #1430

rpm-ostree: A true hybrid image/package system

rpm-ostree combines libostree (an image system), with libdnf (a package system), bringing many of the benefits of both together.

Features:

  • Transactional, background image-based (versioned/checksummed) upgrades
  • OS rollback without affecting user data (/usr but not /etc, /var) via libostree
  • Client-side package layering (and overrides)
  • Easily make your own: rpm-ostree compose tree

Projects using rpm-ostree

Project Atomic is an umbrella project for delivering upstream container technologies and combined with a minimized, atomically upgradable host system to Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and CentOS.

rpm-ostree is the underlying technology for host updates. The headlining project is "Atomic Host", which is a server variant oriented towards running Linux containers using e.g. Kubernetes. However, there is now also a Workstation variant, showing the full generality of the rpm-ostree model.

Talks and media

A number of Project Atomic talks are available; see for example this post which has a bigger collection that also includes talks on containers.
