Description

OSTree native containers are OCI/Docker container images that contain a bootable operating system.

Build and run

To build the image locally, run

mkdir -p cache/dnf cache/rpm-ostree
podman build \
  -v $(pwd)/cache/dnf:/cache/dnf:Z \
  -v $(pwd)/cache/rpm-ostree:/var/cache/rpm-ostree:Z \
  --build-arg SAVE_RPM_OSTREE_CACHE=true \
  -t paveloom-os .

To delete dangling images (in case a build is unsuccessful), run

podman rmi $(podman images -f "dangling=true" -q)

Alternatively, you can provide the --no-cache flag when building.

To start a container based off of this image, run

podman run -td --entrypoint=/bin/bash --name paveloom-os paveloom-os

To enter the container, run

podman exec -it paveloom-os /bin/bash

When you're done, delete both the container and the image

podman stop -t 1 paveloom-os && podman rm paveloom-os
podman rmi paveloom-os

Rebase

To switch to booting from this container image (hosted on Docker Hub), run

sudo rpm-ostree rebase --experimental ostree-unverified-registry:docker.io/paveloom/paveloom-os:latest

The image is updated daily. You can use dates and short SHAs as tags, too.
