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.
