Installing *inside* an existing system
|
||||
---------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
A really neat feature of OSTree is that you can
|
||||
*parallel install* inside your existing OS. Let's try that, we
|
||||
first make sure we have the ostree packages:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
yum -y install ostree ostree-grub2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Before proceeding further, make sure that you have enough space in your root filesystem.
|
||||
The recommended minimum is 10GB (the F27 repo we are going to pull takes ~7GB on disk).
|
||||
Note that ostree will refuse to continue if you go below 3% of free space, so there's
|
||||
no risk of actually running out of space.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, we add `/ostree/repo` to the filesystem:
|
||||
```
|
||||
ostree admin init-fs /
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add a remote which points to the Fedora 27 content:
|
||||
```
|
||||
ostree remote add --set=gpgkeypath=/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-27-primary fedora-ws-27 https://dl.fedoraproject.org/ostree/27/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not have the Fedora 27 GPG primary key, you can get it from
|
||||
https://getfedora.org/keys/. Alternatively, if you really need to, you can turn
|
||||
off GPG verification using the `--no-gpg-verify` option.
|
||||
|
||||
Pull down the content (you can interrupt and restart this):
|
||||
```
|
||||
ostree --repo=/ostree/repo pull fedora-ws-27:fedora/27/x86_64/workstation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Initialize an "os" for this, which acts as a state root.
|
||||
```
|
||||
ostree admin os-init fedora
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**For EFI systems**: currently ostree uses the presence of /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to detect a BIOS system,
|
||||
but that can be present on systems booted with EFI as well. If you boot with EFI
|
||||
(/sys/firmware/efi exists), then you need to move /boot/grub2/grub.cfg aside:
|
||||
```
|
||||
mv /boot/grub2/grub.cfg /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.bak
|
||||
```
|
||||
Since this file is not used on a EFI system, this won't break the operation of your current system. While you are at it, back up your existing grub config:
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg.bak
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And now, we can deploy the commit we just pulled down. The `--karg-proc-cmdline` switch will
|
||||
ensure that the current kernel arguments you used for the current boot will also apply to
|
||||
the OSTree boot.
|
||||
```
|
||||
ostree admin deploy --os=fedora --karg-proc-cmdline fedora-ws-27:fedora/27/x86_64/workstation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To initialize this root, you'll need to copy over your `/etc/fstab`, `/etc/locale.conf`, `/etc/default/grub` at least, along with the ostree remote that we added:
|
||||
```
|
||||
for i in /etc/fstab /etc/default/grub /etc/locale.conf /etc/ostree/remotes.d/fedora-ws-27.conf ; do cp $i /ostree/deploy/fedora/deploy/$checksum.0/$i; done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
where `$checksum` is whatever the checksum of the deployment is; there should only be a
|
||||
single directory there if this is your first deployment.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a separate `/home` mount point, you'll need to change
|
||||
that `fstab` copy to refer to `/var/home`. If you *don't* have a separate /home mount
|
||||
point, then you need to make sure that a symlink will be created:
|
||||
```
|
||||
echo 'L /var/home - - - - ../sysroot/home' > /ostree/deploy/fedora/deploy/$checksum.0/etc/tmpfiles.d/00rpm-ostree.conf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You'll also need to copy your user entry from `/etc/passwd`, `/etc/group`,
|
||||
and `/etc/shadow` into the new `/etc/`, and add yourself to the wheel group
|
||||
in `/etc/group`. Don't copy just copy these files literally, however, since
|
||||
the system users and groups won't be the same.
|
||||
|
||||
**For BIOS systems**: while ostree regenerated the bootloader configuration,
|
||||
it writes config into `/boot/loader/grub.cfg`. On a current `grubby`
|
||||
system, you'll need to copy that version over:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp /boot/loader/grub.cfg /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that you will have to repeat this every time a new tree is created, so it
|
||||
may be more convenient to just create a symlink:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd /boot/grub2
|
||||
rm grub.cfg
|
||||
ln -s ../loader/grub.cfg .
|
||||
```

Installing
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
There are ISOs available for [Fedora 27](https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/27/WorkstationOstree/x86_64/iso/).
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, see a guide for [installing inside an existing system](https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config/blob/master/f/README-install-inside.md).
|
||||
See the Silverblue documentation at
|
||||
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/installation-guide/.
