NAME

bootc-switch - Target a new container image reference to boot

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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`.

OPTIONS

--quiet

: Dont 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
