rpm-ostree Overview
New! See the docs online at Read The Docs (rpm-ostree)
rpm-ostree is a hybrid image/package system. It uses OSTree as an image format, and uses RPM as a component model.
The project aims to bring together a hybrid of image-like upgrade features (reliable replication, atomicity), with package-like flexibility (introspecting trees to find package sets, package layering, partial live updates).
Features:
- Atomic upgrades and rollback for host system updates
- A server side tool to consume RPMs and commit them to an OSTree repository
- A system daemon to consume ostree commits as updates
Projects using rpm-ostree
Project Atomic uses rpm-ostree to provide a minimal host for Docker formatted Linux containers. Replicating a base immutable OS, then using Docker for applications.
Using rpm-ostree to build OS images/trees
See Compose Server.
Building
Releases are available as GPG signed git tags, and most recent versions support extended validation using git-evtag.
However, in order to build from a git clone, you must update the submodules. If you're packaging and want a tarball, I recommend using a "recursive git archive" script. There are several available online; this code in OSTree is an example.
Once you have a git clone or recursive archive, the next step is to install the build dependencies. At the moment, rpm-ostree has a hard requirement on a bleeding edge version of libhif. It also requires a few other libraries like librepo.
Once you have the dependencies, building is the same as every autotools project:
env NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --sysconfdir=/etc
make
At this point you can run some of the unit tests with make check
