OSTREE CREATE-USB(1) ostree create-usb OSTREE CREATE-USB(1)
NAME
ostree-create-usb - Put the given refs on an external drive for P2P
distribution.
SYNOPSIS
ostree create-usb [OPTIONS...] {MOUNT-PATH} {COLLECTION-ID REF}
[COLLECTION-ID REF...]
DESCRIPTION
This command creates a repository in MOUNT-PATH and pulls the given
REF(s) into it so they can be found and pulled from (perhaps by another
computer that's offline). See ostree-find-remotes(1) for more
information on P2P distribution.
In order for ostree to pull refs from a mounted filesystem (such as a
USB drive) the repo must be in a standard location. Specifically,
subdirectories of .ostree/repos.d are checked, then .ostree/repo,
ostree/repo, and var/lib/flatpak/repo are checked. By default ostree
create-usb uses .ostree/repo, but if you specify another location using
--destination-repo a symbolic link will be created for you in
.ostree/repos.d.
This command will regenerate the summary file in the destination repo
so that it stays accurate, so you shouldn't try to use summary
signatures in the destination repo. This shouldn't be a concern because
clients that support pulling from USB mounts use signed per-repo and
per-commit metadata instead of summary signatures.
OPTIONS
--disable-fsync
Do not invoke fsync().
--destination-repo=DEST
Create the repository in DEST under MOUNT-PATH, rather than the
default location.
--commit=COMMIT
Pull COMMIT instead of whatever REF points to. This can only be
used if a single ref is specified.
