Jonathan Lebon 58a79056a8 libpriv/scripts: Add /run/ostree-booted for scriptlets
RPM-OSTree has been pretty good so far at consuming the exact same RPMs
used for traditional OSes without modifications. This is important,
because shielding RPMs from the OSTree abstraction means we remain
compatible with a large portion of the ecosystem.

However, there are some apps that definitely require rethinking their
approach. The example right now is akmods, which has a patch proposed to
build kmods at `%post` time on OSTree systems instead of from the
daemon.[1]

In such situations, scriptlets need something to key off of for the
OSTree-specific approach. The `/run/ostree-booted` file is the de facto
API to determine if we're running on an OSTree system or not. This patch
simply extends this API so that scriptlets can naturally make use of
them.

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.
