A small utility to move the ostree "pin" to the current ostree deployment.
eg useful on Fedora Silverblue for preserving
the current booted deployment image.
It can be run before booting into a new staged deployment,
or afterwards using the --rollback
option.
$ ostree-pin --version
0.1.1
$ ostree-pin --help
Tool to update ostree deployment pin
Usage: ostree-pin [--version] [-n|--dryrun] [-p|--rollback]
See https://github.com/juhp/ostree-pin#readme
Available options:
-h,--help Show this help text
--version Show version
-n,--dryrun Dry run
-p,--rollback Pin previous (rollback) deployment
If you forgot to pin the previous deployment before booting into a newer one,
you can use --rollback
to pin it from the newer deployment.
$ sudo ostree-pin
removing previous pin
pinning current deployment
Needs the Fedora ostree-devel
package (or better ghc-gi-ostree-devel
)
or libostree-dev
(Debian/Ubuntu). Also needs ghc and cabal-install (or stack).
$ cabal install
or from git:
$ stack install
$ sudo ostree-pin
Sets the current deployment to pinned, and unpins the previously pinned deployment. If more than one deployment was pinned it doesn't touch them.
ostree-pin is distributed under the GPL license version 3 or later.
