Usage instructions

First time setup

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

sudo install -d -m 0755 -o 0 -g 0 /var/lib/extensions /var/lib/extensions.d
sudo restorecon -RFv /var/lib/extensions /var/lib/extensions.d

Installation

Define a helper function:

install_sysext() {
  SYSEXT="${1}"
  URL="https://extensions.fcos.fr/extensions"
  sudo install -d -m 0755 -o 0 -g 0 /etc/sysupdate.${SYSEXT}.d
  sudo restorecon -RFv /etc/sysupdate.${SYSEXT}.d
  curl --silent --fail --location "${URL}/${SYSEXT}.conf" \
    | sudo tee "/etc/sysupdate.${SYSEXT}.d/${SYSEXT}.conf"
  sudo /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysupdate update --component "${SYSEXT}"
}

Install the sysext:

install_sysext vscode

Merging

Note that this will merge all installed sysexts unconditionally:

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

Updates

Update this sysext using:

sudo /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysupdate update --component vscode

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

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

To update all sysexts on a system:

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