Particle-OS Simple-CLI
Overview
Particle-OS Simple-CLI is a development and testing environment that demonstrates the core Particle-OS concepts working together. It inherits directly from the Debian Atomic foundation and integrates all three core Particle-OS tools:
- apt-ostree: Atomic package management
- bootupd: Bootloader update management
- bootc: Container deployment and management
Architecture
Debian Atomic (proven foundation)
↓
Particle-OS Simple-CLI
↓
Integrated tools: apt-ostree + bootupd + bootc
Features
- ✅ Clean Architecture: Direct inheritance from Debian Atomic
- ✅ Tool Integration: All three Particle-OS tools working together
- ✅ Concept Proofing: Atomic update workflow demonstrated
- ✅ SSH Access: Remote access configured and ready
- ✅ OSTree Foundation: Full OSTree system with all features
Quick Start
Build the Container
just build-with-tools-ssh
Test the Integration
just test
Run the Demo
./demo-concepts.sh
Available Commands
verify-tools- Verify all Particle-OS tools are availablesimple-cli-welcome- Show welcome message and available commandsdemo-concepts.sh- Demonstrate all tools working together
Tool Status
| Tool | Status | Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| apt-ostree | ✅ Working | 0.1.0 | 1,470 packages available |
| bootupd | ✅ Working | 0.2.28 | EFI components detected |
| bootc | ✅ Working | 1.6.0 | Container deployment ready |
| OSTree | ✅ Working | 2025.2 | Full feature set |
Testing
Basic Functionality Test
podman run --rm simple-cli:latest /usr/local/bin/verify-tools
Concept Demonstration
podman run --rm simple-cli:latest bash -c "apt-ostree list | head -5"
podman run --rm simple-cli:latest bash -c "bootupctl status"
podman run --rm simple-clI:latest bash -c "bootc --help"

Integration Status
What's Working
- ✅ All three Particle-OS tools integrated
- ✅ Tools can communicate and work together
- ✅ OSTree foundation fully functional
- ✅ SSH server configured and ready
- ✅ Clean architecture proven
What's Next
- 🚧 Bootable image creation (technical challenges)
- 🚧 QEMU testing and validation
- 🚧 End-to-end atomic update workflow
- 🚧 Production deployment
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
- Container registry issues: Use full image IDs instead of short names
- Permission issues: Run with
--privilegedflag when needed - Storage access: Mount volumes explicitly for file access
Debug Commands
# Check tool availability
podman run --rm simple-cli:latest which bootc
# Verify OSTree status
podman run --rm simple-cli:latest ostree --version
# Test package management
podman run --rm simple-cli:latest apt-ostree list | head -10
