Unable to bootc switch again after migrating silverblue to fedora-bootc #855

Closed Perpixel closed 1 week ago

Perpixel commented 1 month ago

Hello, not sure if this is working as expected, but I'm trying to test migration from a rpm-ostree Silverblue system to bootc on a qemu vm before doing it to my own workstation.

Installed Silverblue:40, layered bootc. - OK
bootc switch quay.io/fedora/fedora-bootc:40 - OK
bootc switch quay.io/fedora/fedora-bootc:41 - OK
bootc switch --transport oci-archive /tmp/custom-fedora-bootc.tar.gz - Staged but gone on reboot
bootc switch quay.io/fedora/fedora-bootc:42 - Staged but gone on reboot

My system seems now stuck with only 2 deployments of fedora-bootc 40 and 41.

The documentation is not super clear on the right path to take to make this transition, so maybe it's just me?

Thanks

Just did the same step again on a clean VM, and now it works... Only this time I started from Silverblue:41

I was able to repro this if anyone interested. On reboot it probably fail in the deployment and reboot because I got a grub selection screen.

I'm also curious about this. Is there documentation about the recommended migration path from non-bootc managed images to bootc images?

@cgwalters I noticed https://github.com/containers/bootc/pull/137 recently got merged. Is the intended migration for existing ostree systems to use --replace-mode=alongside?

We want it to basically just be switch. I think what you're running into here is basically https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2308594

That's related for sure, but a bigger hammer as it will reset more things.

Anyways so I think this is a dup of https://github.com/containers/bootc/issues/632
