apt-ostree CLI Manual Mapping

Overview

This document provides a complete mapping of rpm-ostree CLI commands and options to ensure apt-ostree maintains 100% compatibility. Based on the rpm-ostree documentation and command analysis.

🎯 Core Philosophy

apt-ostree aims to be a hybrid image/package system that combines:

  • OSTree as the base image format (atomic, versioned, checksummed)
  • APT package management (Debian/Ubuntu ecosystem)
  • Client-side package layering and overrides
  • Transactional updates with atomic rollback capability

⚠️ Important: Most apt-ostree commands require elevated privileges (sudo) as they modify system state, boot configuration, and OSTree deployments. Only read-only operations like status, search, and help commands can run without privileges.
