bootc - Deploy and transactionally in-place with bootable container images
bootc [OPTIONS...] <SUBCOMMAND>
Deploy and transactionally in-place with bootable container images.
The bootc project currently uses ostree-containers as a backend to
support a model of bootable container images. Once installed, whether
directly via bootc install (executed as part of a container) or via
another mechanism such as an OS installer tool, further updates can be
pulled and bootc upgrade.
