Usage instructions

First time setup

Run those commands if you have not yet installed any sysext on your system:

run0 install -d -m 0755 -o 0 -g 0 /var/lib/extensions /var/lib/extensions.d
run0 systemctl enable --now systemd-sysext.service

Installation

Define a helper function:

install_sysext() {
  SYSEXT="${1}"
  URL="https://extensions.snowlinux.org/extensions"
  run0 install -d -m 0755 -o 0 -g 0 /etc/sysupdate.${SYSEXT}.d
  curl --silent --fail --location "${URL}/${SYSEXT}.transfer" \
    | run0 tee "/etc/sysupdate.${SYSEXT}.d/${SYSEXT}.transfer"
  run0 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysupdate update --component "${SYSEXT}"
}

Install the sysext:

install_sysext sysext-code

Merging

Note that this will merge all installed sysexts unconditionally:

run0 systemctl restart systemd-sysext.service
systemd-sysext status

You can also reboot the system.

Updates

Update this sysext using:

run0 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysupdate update --component sysext-code

If you want to use the new version immediately, make sure to refresh the merged sysexts:

run0 systemctl restart systemd-sysext.service
systemd-sysext status

To update all sysexts on a system:

for c in $(/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysupdate components --json=short | jq --raw-output '.components[]'); do
    run0 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysupdate update --component "${c}"
done

Uninstall

Define a helper function:

uninstall_sysext() {
  SYSEXT="${1}"
  run0 rm -i "/var/lib/extensions/${SYSEXT}.raw"
  run0 rm -i "/var/lib/extensions.d/${SYSEXT}-"*".raw"
  run0 rm -i "/etc/sysupdate.${SYSEXT}.d/${SYSEXT}.transfer"
  run0 rmdir "/etc/sysupdate.${SYSEXT}.d/"
}

Uninstall the sysext:

uninstall_sysext sysext-code

Reboot your system or refresh the merged sysexts:

run0 systemctl restart systemd-sysext.service
systemd-sysext status
