# Rocky Linux Ostree
This repository contains all the bits to get a working Ostree for Rocky Linux (8.6). Although Fedora and Red Hat CoreOS use (rpm)Ostree, this is NOT a CoreOS clone.
If you want to build a Rocky Linux CoreOS, in other words a Red Hat CoreOS clone, then checkout [coreos-assembler](https://coreos.github.io/rpm-ostree/compose-server). Other sites with information about CoreOS and building custom OStree(s):
* https://coreos.github.io/rpm-ostree/compose-server/
* https://www.osbuild.org/
Especially osbuild is a very nice project/tool which is now incorperated in the more recent Red Hat versions.
## Dir: bootserver
Contains an Ansible playbook to configure a PXE bootserver
## Dir: ostree-config
Contains the config files to build a basic Ostree for Rocky Linux
# How to use
From the root directory of this project:
* Create a build directory with the repo and cache directory below it. The repo directory will have the final OStree repository where you could boot from.
* Initialize the ./build/repo directory as a OStree repository
* Build the OStree repo
```
mkdir -p ./build/{repo,cache}
ostree --repo=./build/repo init --mode=archive
sudo rpm-ostree --unified-core compose tree --cachedir=./build/cache --repo=./build/repo config/manifest.yaml
```
When the compose state is finished, rsync the repo to the bootserver and network boot from it.
```
sudo rsync -av --delete ./build/repo root@192.168.122.89:/var/www/html/ostree/
```
