# Create configuration file
sudo tee /etc/apt-ostree/config.toml > /dev/null <<EOF
[system]
ostree_repo = "/var/lib/apt-ostree"
cache_dir = "/var/cache/apt-ostree"
log_level = "info"

format = "json"
EOF

# Set permissions
sudo chown root:root /etc/apt-ostree/config.toml
sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt-ostree/config.toml
```

## Troubleshooting
