NAME

   ostree.repo-config - OSTree repository configuration

DESCRIPTION

   The config file in an OSTree repository is a "keyfile" in the XDG
   Desktop Entry Specification[1] format. It has several global flags, as
   well as zero or more remote entries which describe how to access remote
   repositories.

   See ostree.repo(5) for more information about OSTree repositories.

[CORE] SECTION OPTIONS

   Repository-global options. The following entries are defined:

   mode
       One of bare, bare-user or archive-z2.

   repo_version
       Currently, this must be set to 1.

   commit-update-summary
       Boolean value controlling whether or not to automatically update
       the summary file after a commit. Defaults to false.

   fsync
       Boolean value controlling whether or not to ensure files are on
       stable storage when performing operations such as commits, pulls,
       and checkouts. Defaults to true.

       If you disable fsync, OSTree will no longer be robust against
       kernel crashes or power loss.

       You might choose to disable this for local development
       repositories, under the assumption they can be recreated from
       source. Similarly, you could disable for a mirror where you could
       re-pull.

       For the system repository, you might choose to disable fsync if you
       have uninterruptable power supplies and a well tested kernel.

[REMOTE NAME"] SECTION OPTIONS"

   Describes a remote repository location.

   url
       Must be present; declares URL for accessing this remote. The only
       supported schemes are the moment are file, http, and https.

   proxy
       A string value, if given should be a URL for a HTTP proxy to use
       for access to this repository.

   gpg-verify
       A boolean value, defaults to true. Controls whether or not OSTree
       will require commits to be signed by a known GPG key. For more
       information, see the ostree(1) manual under GPG.

   gpg-verify-summary
       A boolean value, defaults to false. Controls whether or not OSTree
       will check if the summary is signed by a known GPG key. For more
       information, see the ostree(1) manual under GPG.

   tls-permissive
       A boolean value, defaults to false. By default, server TLS
       certificates will be checked against the system certificate store.
       If this variable is set, any certificate will be accepted.

   tls-client-cert-path
       Path to file for client-side certificate, to present when making
       requests to this repository.

   tls-client-key-path
       Path to file containing client-side certificate key, to present
       when making requests to this repository.

   tls-ca-path
       Path to file containing trusted anchors instead of the system CA
       database.

   unconfigured-state
       If set, pulls from this remote will fail with the configured text.
       This is intended for OS vendors which have a subscription process
       to access content.

/ETC/OSTREE/REMOTES.D

   In addition to the /ostree/repo/config file, remotes may also be
   specified in /etc/ostree/remotes.d. The remote configuration file must
   end in .conf; files whose name does not end in .conf will be ignored.

PER-REMOTE GPG KEYRINGS AND VERIFICATION

   OSTree supports a per-remote GPG keyring, as well as a gpgkeypath
   option. For more information see ostree(1). in the section GPG
   verification.

PER-REMOTE HTTP COOKIES

   Some content providers may want to control access to remote
   repositories via HTTP cookies. The ostree remote add-cookie and ostree
   remote delete-cookie commands will update a per-remote lookaside cookie
   jar, named $remotename.cookies.txt.
