vauxite-build
This is my personalized Vauxite configuration. Vauxite is an unofficial Xfce variant of ostree-based Fedora. I'm currently working with Fedora developers to make it an official variant. There is already a sort-of-official treefile for Vauxite at https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config, as well as an experimental Vauxite container image hosted at https://quay.io/repository/fedora-ostree-desktops/vauxite.
The vauxite.json
treefile and xfce-desktop-pkgs.yaml
under the src
directory contain my personal customizations and differ from the upstream ones. As such, they may not be suitable for everyone.
How I use this repository
How I previously used this repository
- I run Fedora Server in a VM on my homelab machine. This Fedora Server has the
ostree
andrpm-ostree
commands installed. - I clone this repository as root under
/var/local/vauxite-build
. -
I then run the
ostree-engine
script to build and deploy a new commit for the given reference branch (e.g.vauxite/f39/x86_64/main
). Thersync-repos
command is used in theostree-engine
script to deploy the resulting OSTree repository to a web server root, which serves as the remote repository.To add the repository as a remote on my local client machine:
sudo ostree remote add --no-gpg-verify vauxite <URL of web server>
I then rebase to the vauxite branch:
rpm-ostree rebase vauxite:vauxite/f39/x86_64/main
To build new commits that contain updates, I put this in
/etc/cron.d/ostree-engine
on the Fedora Server:0 0 * * 2 root /var/local/vauxite-build/ostree-engine
This will run the
ostree-engine
script every Tuesday at midnight. Then I can update my local client machine like this:rpm-ostree update
