# 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
```bash
just build-with-tools-ssh
```
### Test the Integration
```bash
just test
```
### Run the Demo
```bash
./demo-concepts.sh
```
## Available Commands
- `verify-tools` - Verify all Particle-OS tools are available
- `simple-cli-welcome` - Show welcome message and available commands
- `demo-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
```bash
podman run --rm simple-cli:latest /usr/local/bin/verify-tools
```
### Concept Demonstration
```bash
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"
```
## Development
### Project Structure
```

├── Containerfile # Container definition
├── justfile # Build automation
├── tools/ # Integrated .deb packages
├── demo-concepts.sh # Concept demonstration
├── README.md # This file
└── output/ # Generated outputs
```
### Build Recipes
- `just build-with-tools-ssh` - Build with SSH and tools
- `just test` - Test the built container
- `just clean` - Clean build artifacts
## 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
1. **Container registry issues**: Use full image IDs instead of short names
2. **Permission issues**: Run with `--privileged` flag when needed
3. **Storage access**: Mount volumes explicitly for file access
### Debug Commands
```bash
# 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
```
