ostree.repo - OSTree repository configuration and layout
An OSTree repository is structurally similar to a git repository; it is a
content-addressed object store containing filesystem trees. However, unlike
git, ostree is designed to store operating system binaries. It records the
Unix uid and gid, permissions, as well as extended attributes.
A repository can be in one of three modes; bare, which is designed as a hard
link source for operating system checkouts, bare-user, which is like bare but
works on systems that run as non-root as well as non-root containers, and
archive-z2, which is designed for static HTTP servers.
There is a system repository located at /ostree/repo. If no repository is
specified -- either by a command-line option or the
OSTREE_REPO
environment variable -- the
ostree as well as many API calls will use
it by default.
The only user-editable component is the config file. For more information, see
ostree.repo-config(5).
