## Background on managing an OSTree repository
|
|
|
|
Before you get started, it's recommended to read (at least) these two sections
|
|
of the OSTree manual:
|
|
|
|
- [buildsystem-and-repos](https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual/buildsystem-and-repos/)
|
|
- [repository-management](https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual/repository-management/)
|
|
|
|
## Generating OSTree commits from a CentOS base
|
|
|
|
First, you'll need a copy of `rpm-ostree` on your compose server.
|
|
It's included in the package collection for Fedora, and there are
|
|
[CentOS Core packages](http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/atomic/x86_64/Packages/)
|
|
as well as [bleeding edge CentOS builds](https://ci.centos.org/job/atomic-rdgo-centos7/).
|
|
|
|
A good first thing to try would be using the
|
|
[CentOS Atomic Host](https://github.com/CentOS/sig-atomic-buildscripts/tree/downstream)
|
|
metadata to generate a custom host.
|
|
|
|
One time setup, where we clone the git repository, then make two
|
|
OSTree repos, one for doing builds, one for export via HTTP:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# mkdir /srv/centos-atomic
|
|
# cd /srv/centos-atomic
|
|
# git clone https://github.com/CentOS/sig-atomic-buildscripts -b downstream
|
|
# mkdir build-repo
|
|
# ostree --repo=build-repo init --mode=bare-user
|
|
# 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.
|
|
|
|
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/centos-atomic/build-repo sig-atomic-buildscripts/centos-atomic-host.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will download RPMs from the referenced repos, and commit the
|
|
result to the OSTree repository, using the ref named by `ref`.
|
|
|
|
Once we have that commit, let's export it:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# ostree --repo=repo pull-local build-repo centos-atomic-host/7/x86_64/standard
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can tell client systems to rebase to it by combining `ostree
|
|
remote add`, and `rpm-ostree rebase` on the client side.
