bootc - Deploy and transactionally in-place with bootable container images

Synopsis

bootc [OPTIONS...] <SUBCOMMAND>

Description

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​.
