# ๐ **apt-ostree Daemon Implementation Plan - Deep Dive**
## ๐๏ธ **Architecture Overview**
Based on the comprehensive analysis of rpm-ostree's DBus implementation, apt-ostree will implement a Rust-based daemon that mirrors the proven architecture while adapting to the Debian/Ubuntu ecosystem.

### **1.2 Dependencies & Crates**
```toml
# daemon/Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"] }
zbus = "3.0" # DBus implementation
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
serde_json = "1.0"
tracing = "0.1"
tracing-subscriber = "0.3"
thiserror = "1.0"
anyhow = "1.0"
ostree = "0.20"
apt-pkg-native = "0.3"
uuid = "1.0"
chrono = { version = "0.4", features = ["serde"] }
libc = "0.2"
nix = "0.26"
```
### **1.3 DBus Interface Definition**
Based on the rpm-ostree analysis, we'll implement a compatible interface:
```xml
```
## ๐ **Phase 2: Core Daemon Implementation (Week 2-3)**
### **2.1 Daemon Main Structure**
```rust
// daemon/src/main.rs
use zbus::{ConnectionBuilder, dbus_interface};
use std::sync::Arc;
use tokio::sync::RwLock;
use std::collections::HashMap;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box> {
// Initialize logging
tracing_subscriber::fmt::init();
// Create daemon instance
let daemon = Arc::new(AptOstreeDaemon::new()?);
// Set up DBus connection
let _connection = ConnectionBuilder::system()?
.name("org.projectatomic.aptostree1")?
.serve_at("/org/projectatomic/aptostree1/Sysroot", daemon.clone())?
.serve_at("/org/projectatomic/aptostree1/OS/debian", daemon.clone())?
.build()
.await?;
// Keep daemon running
loop {
tokio::time::sleep(tokio::time::Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
}
}
struct AptOstreeDaemon {
transactions: Arc>>,
ostree_manager: Arc,
apt_manager: Arc,
security_manager: Arc,
sysroot_manager: Arc,
os_manager: Arc,
clients: Arc>>,
}
#[dbus_interface(name = "org.projectatomic.aptostree1.Sysroot")]
impl AptOstreeDaemon {
async fn get_booted(&self) -> zbus::fdo::Result {
// Implementation
}
async fn get_path(&self) -> zbus::fdo::Result {
Ok("/".to_string())
}
async fn get_active_transaction(&self) -> zbus::fdo::Result<(String, String, String)> {
// Implementation
}
async fn get_deployments(&self) -> zbus::fdo::Result>> {
// Implementation
}
async fn register_client(
&self,
options: HashMap,
) -> zbus::fdo::Result<()> {
// Implementation
}
async fn unregister_client(
&self,
options: HashMap,

// Implementation
}
async fn reload(&self) -> zbus::fdo::Result<()> {
// Implementation
}
async fn reload_config(&self) -> zbus::fdo::Result<()> {

}
async fn get_os(&self, name: &str) -> zbus::fdo::Result {

}
}
```
### **2.2 Transaction Management**
```rust

}
impl Transaction {

```
### **2.3 OSTree Operations in Daemon**

}
pub async fn create_staging_deployment(&self) -> Result {

// Return deployment reference
}
pub async fn install_packages_in_staging(
