High level design
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The goal of the system is to be a workstation, using
|
|
|
|
|
rpm-ostree for the base OS, and a combination of
|
|
|
|
|
Docker and Flatpak containers, as well as virtualization
|
|
|
|
|
tools such as Vagrant.

Status
|
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This project is actively maintained and is ready for use
|
|
|
|
|
by sophisticated and interested users, but not ready
|
|
|
|
|
for widespread promotion.

Installing (do not use partitioning defaults!)

|
|
|
Important! *Don't* choose auto-partitioning in the below installer ISO; you
|
|
|
|
|
currently can't use a separate `/home` partition, and Anaconda defaults to that.
|
|
|
|
|
This will be fixed in Fedora 27; see
|
|
|
|
|
this [known issue](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1382873) as
|
|
|

Important issues:
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [Anaconda autopartitoning](https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/issues/800) - be sure to use `/var/home` instead of `/home`
|
|
|
|
|
- [flatpak system repo](https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/113#issuecomment-247022006)

Migrating between OSTree repos
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enable the 26/27 remotes:
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
ostree remote add --if-not-exists --gpg-import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-26-primary fedora-ws-26 https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/ostree/26
|
|
|
|
|
ostree remote add --if-not-exists --gpg-import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-27-primary fedora-ws-27 https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/ostree/rawhide
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
Rebase to rawhide:
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
rpm-ostree rebase fedora-ws-27:fedora/rawhide/x86_64/workstation
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using the system
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, try out `rpm-ostree install` to layer additional packages. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
`rpm-ostree install powerline`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, let's try flatpak. Before you do: There's a known flatpak issue on
|
|
|
|
|
AtomicWS - run [this workaround](https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/113#issuecomment-247022006),
|
|
|
|
|
which you only need to do once. After that, [try flatpak](http://flatpak.org/apps.html).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are a developer for server applications,
|
|
|
|
|
try [oc cluster up](https://github.com/openshift/origin/blob/master/docs/cluster_up_down.md) to
|
|
|
|
|
create a local OpenShift v3 cluster.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, you'll likely want to make one or more "pet" Docker containers,
|
|
|
|
|
potentially privileged, and use `dnf/yum` inside these. You can use e.g. `-v
|
|
|
|
|
/srv:/srv` so these containers can share content with your host (such as git
|
|
|
|
|
repositories). Note that if you want to share content between multiple Docker
|
|
|
|
|
containers and the host (e.g. your desktop session), you should execute (once):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
sudo chcon -R -h -t container_file_t /var/srv
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Future work
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- GNOME Software support for both rpm-ostree/flatpak and possibly docker
|
|
|
|
|
- automated tests that run on this content
