okay so bestie, welcome to the ostree-admin-stateroot-init page in the OSTREE ADMIN STATERO(1) manual. The name tea is: ostree-admin-stateroot-init — initialize empty state for a given operating system. periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ostree admin stateroot-init {STATEROOT}

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what’s the vibe? It initializes a new stateroot (AKA "osname") for an operating system. It makes sure the core subdirectories of /var exist — that’s /tmp, /lib, /run, and /lock — and it initializes the given STATEROOT as an OSTree stateroot. slay. 🌈

Also, for the record: each deployment location is comprised of a single shared var and a set of deployments (chroots). That’s the whole structural tea, no cap 🍵.

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

Here’s the iconic little demo:

$ ostree admin stateroot-init exampleos

                   ostree/deploy/exampleos initialized as OSTree stateroot
