Bootc Manager is a simple and intuitive command-line tool for Bootc. It offers a user-friendly command line interface with management and maintenance options for Fedora Atomic and derivative systems.

• Dual-Backend Support: Native support for bootc (Fedora Atomic 45+) with seamless fallback to rpm-ostree.
• System Upgrades & Rollbacks: Trigger image updates or safely roll back to a previous deployment with confirmation prompts.
• Image Switching (bootc switch): Easily switch between desktop environments or custom OCI container images.
• Layering Detection: Automatically inspects and warns about local package layering (rpm-ostree mutations) that might conflict with bootc updates.
• Configurable of bootc-manager.conf: Allows you to configure the Bootc-Manager without complicating the standard workflow.
• Desktop Integration: Includes a .desktop shortcut for seamless execution directly from your application launcher.

• Operating System: Fedora Atomic 44+ and derivatives (Silverblue, Kinoite, Sericea, Aurora, Bazzite, etc.).
• Core Tooling: bootc and/or rpm-ostree.

Run the automated installer script in your terminal:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/diogopessoa/bootc-manager/main/install.sh | bash

Once installed, you can launch the application by:

1. Running bootc-manager in any terminal window, or
2. Searching for Bootc-Manager in your system application menu.

The bootc-manager.conf file can be used to configure Bootc-Manager without complicating the standard workflow. Can be configured in /etc/bootc-manager.conf, it will allow for options such as:

• choosing a preferred backend (bootc vs. rpm-ostree);
• enabling/disabling layering warnings;
• enable check-only

This map shows where each file is placed on your system after running the installer:

Destination Path
├── /usr/local/bin/bootc-manager                      # Main executable script
├── /etc/bootc-manager.conf                           # System-wide configuration file (optional)
├── ~/.local/share/icons/bootc-manager.svg            # User application icon
└── ~/.local/share/applications/bootc-manager.desktop # Application Menu shortcut

If you wish to completely remove Bootc Manager from your system, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/bootc-manager /usr/share/applications/bootc-manager.desktop /etc/bootc-manager.conf && \
rm -f ~/.local/share/applications/bootc-manager.desktop \
     ~/.local/share/icons/bootc-manager.svg && \
echo "Bootc Manager has been successfully uninstalled."
