OSTREE ADMIN DEPLOY(1)

NAME
ostree-admin-deploy - Checkout a revision as the new default deployment

SYNOPSIS

ostree admin deploy [OPTIONS...] {REFSPEC}

DESCRIPTION

Takes a commit or revision REFSPEC, and queues the new deployment as default upon reboot.

OPTIONS

--os="STATEROOT"
    Use a different operating system root than the current one.

--origin-file="FILENAME"
    Use FILENAME as the origin, which is where OSTree will look for updated versions of the tree.

--retain
    Do not delete previous deployment.

--retain-pending
    Do not delete pending deployments.

--retain-rollback
    Do not delete rollback deployments.

--not-as-default
    Append rather than prepend new deployment.

--karg-proc-cmdline
    Import current /proc/cmdline.

--karg="NAME=VALUE"
    Set kernel argument, like root=/dev/sda1; this overrides any earlier argument with the same name.

--karg-append="NAME=VALUE"
    Append kernel argument; useful with e.g. console= that can be used multiple times.
