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="OSNAME"
       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.

   --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.
