Updates, Upgrades & Rollbacks
Installing updates with {variant-name} is easy and fast. It also has a special rollback feature, in case anything goes wrong. Additionally, you can choose to have multiple versions of your operating system installed at all times, and you can choose which one to boot into whenever you start up your system.
Updating {variant-name}
OS updates are fully integrated into the desktop; you will be automatically notified when an update is available. The standard behavior is to automatically download the update (this can be changed from the update preferences in Software).
Once an update is ready, it is just a matter of rebooting to start using the new version. There is no waiting for the update to be installed during this reboot.
If you'd prefer, it is also possible to update using the command line. To do this, run:
$ rpm-ostree upgrade
This will check for new updates and download and install them if they are available. Alternatively, to check for available updates without downloading them, run:
$ rpm-ostree upgrade --check
Upgrading between major versions
Upgrading between major versions (such as from Fedora {version-oldstable} to Fedora {version-stable}) can be completed using the {update-application} application. Alternatively, {variant-name} can be upgraded between major versions using the `rpm-ostree` command.
Skipping major releases is currently untested and is thus not supported. You should update only one major release at a time, i.e. from Fedora {version-oldstable} to {version-stable}, etc.
First, make sure that you are running the latest update for the current version:
$ rpm-ostree upgrade
Reboot your system if needed. Then, verify that the branch for the next major version is available. You can print all available branches for {variant-name} with this command:
$ ostree remote refs fedora | grep {variant} | grep $(uname -m)
After you've verified the name of your branch, you are ready to proceed. For example, to upgrade to {variant-name} {version-stable}, the command is:
$ rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/{version-stable}/x86_64/{variant}
Currently, the default remote for {variant-name} {version-stable} is named `fedora`.
If this is not the case for your system, you can find out the remote name by issuing: `ostree remote list`.
The process is very similar to a system update: the new OS is downloaded and installed in the background, and you just boot into it when it is ready.
Additionally, you can choose to rebase to a different immutable variant of Fedora, like for example {alternative-name}. {alternative-name} is similar to {variant-name}, except for the fact that it uses the {alternative-desktop} instead of the default {variant-desktop}.
What this means is, you can rebase to {alternative-name} to try it out, without ever touching your current system. Because the two system images are isolated from eachother, the two desktop environments will never be installed at the same time. All of your flatpak apps and /home files will stay persistent between rebases. Same applies for testing out the bleeding-edge version of {variant-name}, which is Rawhide.
