== About OSTree ==
This Howto is meant to deal with particular issues that can be found with OSTree systems such as SilverBlue, Kinoite and CoreOS.

== Installation ==
Most of the time, the Installation procedure is mentioned in the [[Configuration]] page and works:

{{{
sudo rpm-ostree install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
sudo reboot
}}}

Then follow the additional sections as needed.

/!\ Note: One may have preferred a non-RPM version of the installation process, but we really need this RPM to be able to propagate changes at full scale if needed (like security issue, repository change or else).


== Multimedia ==
One may need to add few packages on OSTree Host

=== Hardware codecs with Intel(recent) ===
{{{
rpm-ostree install intel-media-driver
}}}

=== Hardware codecs with Intel(older) ===
{{{
rpm-ostree install libva-intel-driver
}}}

=== Hardware codecs with AMD (mesa) ===
This is needed since Fedora 37 and later... and mainly concern AMD hardware since NVIDIA hardware with nouveau doesn't work well
{{{
rpm-ostree override remove mesa-va-drivers --install mesa-va-drivers-freeworld
rpm-ostree override remove mesa-vdpau-drivers --install mesa-vdpau-drivers-freeworld
}}}

=== Hardware codecs with NVIDIA ===
The Nvidia proprieatary driver doesn't support VAAPI, but there is a wrapper that can bridge NVDEC/NVENC with VAAPI
{{{
rpm-ostree install nvidia-vaapi-backend
}}}

=== Software codecs ===
{{{
rpm-ostree install ffmpeg gstreamer1-plugin-libav gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-extras gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld gstreamer1-plugins-ugly gstreamer1-vaapi
}}}

== Updates with OSTree ==

=== Minor releases ===

=== Major releases ===
At least of the rpmfusion*-release RPM package that rely on a given Fedora release, there is a need to rebase theses RPM "along" the normal "ostree" rebase. This can be acheived by

{{{
sudo rpm-ostree update --uninstall rpmfusion-free-release --uninstall rpmfusion-nonfree-release --install rpmfusion-free-release --install rpmfusion-nonfree-release
}}}


/!\ Note: at RPM Fusion, we consider that the special needs to mention theses packages while upgrading is a very evil design flow from rpm-ostree perspective.
