bootc switch [--quiet] [--apply] [--transport] [--enforce-container-sigpolicy] [--ostree-remote] [--retain] [-h|--help] <TARGET>

Target a new container image reference to boot.

This is almost exactly the same operation as `upgrade`, but additionally changes the container image reference instead.

## Usage

A common pattern is to have a management agent control operating system updates via container image tags; for example, `quay.io/exampleos/someuser:v1.0` and `quay.io/exampleos/someuser:v1.1` where some machines are tracking `:v1.0`, and as a rollout progresses, machines can be switched to `v:1.1`.

--quiet

Don't display progress

--apply

Restart or reboot into the new target image.

Currently, this option always reboots.  In the future this command will detect the case where no kernel changes are queued, and perform a userspace-only restart.

--transport=TRANSPORT [default: registry]

The transport; e.g. oci, oci-archive, containers-storage.  Defaults to `registry`

--enforce-container-sigpolicy

This is the inverse of the previous `--target-no-signature-verification` (which is now a no-op).

Enabling this option enforces that `/etc/containers/policy.json` includes a default policy which requires signatures.

--ostree-remote=OSTREE_REMOTE

Enable verification via an ostree remote

--retain

Retain reference to currently booted image

-h,  --help

Print help (see a summary with '-h')

<TARGET>

Target image to use for the next boot
