 - OS/Distributions
 - build tools
 - rpm-ostree/flatpak

Projects using OSTree
Operating systems and distributions using OSTree
---------------------
[Endless OS](https://endlessos.com/) uses libostree for their host system as
well as flatpak. See
their [eos-updater](https://github.com/endlessm/eos-updater)
and [deb-ostree-builder](https://github.com/dbnicholson/deb-ostree-builder)
projects.
Fedora derivatives use rpm-ostree (noted below); there are 3 variants using OSTree:
- [Fedora CoreOS](https://getfedora.org/en/coreos/)
- [Fedora Silverblue](https://silverblue.fedoraproject.org/)
- [Fedora IoT](https://iot.fedoraproject.org/)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS is a derivative of Fedora CoreOS, used in [OpenShift 4](https://try.openshift.com/).
The [machine-config-operator](https://github.com/openshift/machine-config-operator/blob/master/docs/OSUpgrades.md)
manages upgrades. RHEL CoreOS is also the successor to RHEL Atomic Host, which
uses rpm-ostree as well.
[GNOME Continuous](https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeContinuous) is
where OSTree was born - as a high performance continuous delivery/testing
system for GNOME.
[Liri OS](https://liri.io/download/silverblue/) has the option to install
their distribution using ostree.
Distribution build tools
------------------------
[meta-updater](https://github.com/advancedtelematic/meta-updater) is
a layer available for [OpenEmbedded](http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Main_Page)
systems.

[QtOTA](http://doc.qt.io/QtOTA/) is Qt's over-the-air update framework
which uses libostree.
[rpm-ostree](https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree) is a next-generation
hybrid package/image system for [Fedora](https://getfedora.org/) and [CentOS](https://www.centos.org/),
used by the [Atomic Host](http://www.projectatomic.io/) project.
By default it uses libostree to atomically replicate a base OS (all dependency
resolution is done on the server), but it supports "package layering", where
The [BuildStream](https://gitlab.com/BuildStream/buildstream) build and
integration tool uses libostree as a caching system to store and share
built artifacts.
Fedora [coreos-assembler](https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler) is
the build tool used to generate Fedora CoreOS derivatives.
Projects linking to libostree
-----------------------------
[rpm-ostree](https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree) is used by the
Fedora-derived operating systems listed above. It is a full hybrid
image/package system. By default it uses libostree to atomically replicate a base OS
(all dependency resolution is done on the server), but it supports "package layering", where
additional RPMs can be layered on top of the base. This brings a "best of both worlds""
model for image and package systems.
[eos-updater](https://github.com/endlessm/eos-updater) is a daemon that implements updates
on EndlessOS.
[flatpak](https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak) uses libostree for desktop
application containers. Unlike most of the other systems here, flatpak does not
use the "libostree host system" aspects (e.g. bootloader management), just the
"git-like hardlink dedup". For example, flatpak supports a per-user OSTree
repository.
[Endless OS](https://endlessos.com/) uses libostree for their host system as
well as flatpak. See
their [eos-updater](https://github.com/endlessm/eos-updater)
and [deb-ostree-builder](https://github.com/dbnicholson/deb-ostree-builder)
projects.
[GNOME Continuous](https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeContinuous) is
where OSTree was born - as a high performance continuous delivery/testing
system for GNOME.
The [BuildStream](https://gitlab.com/BuildStream/buildstream) build and
integration tool uses libostree as a caching system to store and share

[Liri OS](https://liri.io/download/silverblue/) has the option to install
their distribution using ostree.
