## Status

At the current time, bootc is in active development and is not quite
considered ready for production use. The command line interface
*might* change. There is not yet stable RPC API.
The core `bootc update` functionality is really just the same
technology which has shipped for some time in rpm-ostree so there
should be absolutely no worries about using it for OS updates.
A number of people do this today.

However, it heavily relies on a lot of underlying technologies which
are tested, and the goal is to stabilize everything sometime in
2023.
That said bootc is in active development and some parts
are subject to change, such as the command line interface and
the CRD-like API exposed via `bootc edit`.`

The `bootc install` functionality is also more experimental.

## Using bootc

### Installing

* Fedora, CentOS Stream 9: There is a [COPR](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/rhcontainerbot/bootc/) tracking git main with binary packages.
* Fedora: [bootc is packaged](https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=bootc) and be available in the main repositories soon.
* CentOS Stream 9: There is a [COPR](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/rhcontainerbot/bootc/) tracking git main with binary packages.

You can also build this project like any other Rust project, e.g. `cargo build --release` from a git clone.
