Upgrade overview
If you’ve used yum, dnf (and now tdnf for Photon) in RPM systems or apt-get in Debian based Unix, you understand what “install” is for packages and the subtle difference between “update” and “upgrade”.
OSTree and RPM-OSTree don’t distinguish between them and the term “upgrade” has a slightly different meaning - to bring the system in sync with the remote repo, to the top of the Refspec (branch), just like in Git, by pulling the latest changes.
In fact, ostree and rpm-ostree commands support a single “upgrade” verb for a file image tree and a package list in the same refspec (branch). rpm-ostree upgrade
will install a package if it doesn’t exist, will not touch it if it has same version in the new image, will upgrade it if the version number is higher and it may actually downgrade it, if the package has been downgraded in the new image. I wish this operation had a different name, to avoid any confusion.
The reverse operation of an upgrade is a “rollback” and fortunately it’s not named “downgrade” because it may upgrade packages in the last case describe above.
As we’ll see in a future chapter, a jump to a different Refspec (branch) is also supported and it’s named “rebase”.
Incremental upgrade
To check if there are any updates available, one would execute:
root@photon-host-def [ ~ ]# rpm-ostree upgrade
Updating from: photon:photon/4.0/x86_64/minimal
No upgrade available.
It is good idea to check periodically for updates.
To check if there are any new updates without actually applying them, we will pass the –check-diff flag, that would list the different packages as added, modified or deleted - if such operations were to happen.
root@photon-host [ ~ ]# rpm-ostree upgrade --check-diff
Updating from: photon:photon/4.0/x86_64/minimal

+sudo-1.8.15-3.ph1.x86_64
+wget-1.17.1-2.ph1.x86_64
We like what we see and now let’s upgrade for real. This command will deploy a new bootable filetree.

(no subject)
Notice that now we have a new reference, that corresponds to the newly deployed image.
root@photon-7c2d910d79e9 [ ~ ]# ostree refs
ostree/0/1/1
photon:photon/4.0/x86_64/minimal
ostree/0/1/0
Let us look at the status. The new filetree version .1 has the expected Commit ID and a newer timestamp, that is actually the server date/time when the image has been generated, not the time/date when it was downloaded or installed at the host. The old image has a star next to it, showing that’s the image the system is booted currently into.

Now let’s type reboot
. Grub will list the new filetree as the first image, marked with a star, as the default bootable image. If the keyboard is not touched and order is not changed, grub will timeout and will boot into that image.
Let’s look again at the status. It’s identical, just that the star is next to the newer image, to show it’s the current image it has booted from.

Also, the current deployment directory is based on the new commit:
root@photon-7c2d910d79e9 [ ~ ]# ostree admin config-diff --print-current-dir
/ostree/deploy/photon/deploy/820b584a6f90bf6b9b8cb6aad8c093064b88d0ab686be8130baa03d68917ad88.0
A fresh upgrade for a new version will delete the older, original image and bring a new one, that will become the new default image. The previous ‘default’ image will move down one position as the backup image.
Listing file differences
Now we can look at what files have been Added, Modified, Deleted due to the addition of those three packages and switching of the boot directories, by comparing the two commits.

Listing package differences
We can also look at package differences, as you expect, using the right tool for the job.

Rollback
If we want to go back to the previous image, we can rollback. The order of the images will be changed, so the old filetree will become the default bootable image. If -r option is passed, the rollback will continue with a reboot.

Run "systemctl reboot" to start a reboot
In fact, we can repeat the rollback operation as many times as we want before reboot. On each execution, it’s going to change the order. It will not delete any image.
However, an upgrade will keep the current default image and will eliminate the other image, whichever that is. So if Photon installation rolled back to an older build, an upgrade will keep that, eliminate the newer version and will replace it with an even newer version at the next upgrade.
The boot order moved back to original:

Installing Packages
You can add more packages onto the system that are not part of the commit composed on the server.
rpm-ostree install <packages>
Example:
rpm-ostree install https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/wget/1.19.5/5.fc29/x86_64/wget-1.19.5-5.fc29.x86_64.rpm
Uninstalling Packages
To remove layered packages installed from a repository, use
rpm-ostree uninstall <pkg>
To remove layered packages installed from a local package, you must specify the full NEVRA of the package.
For example:
rpm-ostree uninstall ltrace-0.7.91-16.fc22.x86_64
To uninstall a package that is a part of the base layer, use
rpm-ostree override remove <pkg>
For example:
rpm-ostree override remove firefox
Deleting a deployed filetree
It is possible to delete a deployed tree. You won’t need to do that normally, as upgrading to a new image will delete the old one, but if for some reason deploying failed (loss of power, networking issues), you’ll want to delete the partially deployed image.
The only supported index is 1. (If multiple bootable images will be supported in the future, a larger than one, zero-based index of the image to delete will be supported).
You cannot delete the default bootable filetree, so passing 0 will result in an error.

Run "systemctl reboot" to start a reboot
If we were to upgrade again, it would bring these packages back, but let’s just check the differences.

Version skipping upgrade
Let’s assume that after a while, VMware releases version 2 that removes sudo and adds bison and tar. Now, an upgrade will skip version 1 and go directly to 2. Let’s first look at what packages are pulled (notice sudo missing, as expected), then upgrade with reboot option.

ostree diff commit old: rollback deployment (8b4b9d4ec033d1eb816711bfdda595d1013fecbe5cd340f6a619cdc9d83a3bf2)
ostree diff commit new: booted deployment (e663b2872efa01d80e4c34c823431472beb653373af32de83c7d2480316b8a6a)
root@photon-host-cus1 [ ~ ]# rpm-ostree db diff 82bc 092e
error: Refspec '82bc' not found
Interesting fact: The metadata for commit 82bc has been removed from the local repo.
Tracking parent commits
OSTree will display limited commit history - maximum 2 levels, so if you want to traverse the history even though it may not find a commitment by its ID, you can refer to its parent using ‘^’ suffix, grandfather via ‘^^’ and so on. We know that 82bc is the parent of 092e:
root@photon-host-def [ ~ ]# rpm-ostree db diff 092e^ 092e
error: No such metadata object 82bca728eadb7292d568404484ad6889c3f6303600ca8c743a4336e0a10b3817.commit
error: Refspec '82cb' not found
root@photon-host-def [ ~ ]# rpm-ostree db diff 092e^^ 092e
error: No such metadata object 82bca728eadb7292d568404484ad6889c3f6303600ca8c743a4336e0a10b3817.commit
So commit 092e knows who its parent is, but its metadata is no longer in the local repo, so it cannot traverse further to its parent to find an existing grandfather.
Resetting a branch to a previous commit
We can reset the head of a branch in a local repo to a previous commit, for example corresponding to version 0 (3.0_minimal).
root@photon-7c2d910d79e9 [ ~ ]# ostree reset photon:photon/4.0/x86_64/minimal 965c
Now if we look again at the branch commit history, the head is at version 0.
