🚀 What is APT-OSTree?
APT-OSTree is a Debian/Ubuntu equivalent of rpm-ostree that provides atomic package management for OSTree-based systems. It combines the familiar APT package management interface with the atomic update capabilities of OSTree.
Key Features
- Atomic Updates: Package installations and updates are atomic - they either complete fully or rollback completely
- OSTree Integration: Seamless integration with OSTree for system image management
- APT Compatibility: Familiar APT commands and package management workflow
- Dependency Resolution: Advanced dependency resolution with conflict detection
- Security: Sandboxed package operations using bubblewrap
Use Cases
- Immutable Infrastructure: Deploy and manage immutable server images
- Atomic Desktop Updates: Update desktop systems atomically
- Container Base Images: Manage package layers in container base images
- System Rollbacks: Easy system rollbacks to previous states
📖 Quick Start
If you want to get started immediately, check out the Quick Start Guide. Here's a basic example:
# Install a package atomically
apt-ostree install nginx
# Check system status
apt-ostree status
# Rollback if needed
apt-ostree rollback
🔧 System Requirements
- Operating System: Debian 13 (Trixie) or Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) or later
- Architecture: x86_64, aarch64
- Dependencies: OSTree, bubblewrap, libapt-pkg
- Storage: Minimum 2GB free space for package operations
