Install Fedora CoreOS or RHEL CoreOS
Usage: coreos-installer install [OPTIONS] [DEST_DEVICE]
Arguments:
[DEST_DEVICE]
Destination device
Path to the device node for the destination disk. The beginning of the device will
be overwritten without further confirmation.
Options:
-c, --config-file <path>
YAML config file with install options
Load additional config options from the specified YAML config file. Later config
files override earlier ones, and command-line options override config files.
Config file keys are long option names without the leading "--". Values are strings
for non-repeatable options, arrays of strings for repeatable options, and "true" for
flags. The destination device can be specified with the "dest-device" key.
-s, --stream <name>
Fedora CoreOS stream
The name of the Fedora CoreOS stream to install, such as "stable", "testing", or
"next".
-u, --image-url <URL>
Manually specify the image URL
coreos-installer appends ".sig" to find the GPG signature for the image, which must
exist and be valid. A missing signature can be ignored with --insecure.
-f, --image-file <path>
Manually specify a local image file
coreos-installer appends ".sig" to find the GPG signature for the image, which must
exist and be valid. A missing signature can be ignored with --insecure.
-i, --ignition-file <path>
Embed an Ignition config from a file
Embed the specified Ignition config in the installed system.
-I, --ignition-url <URL>
Embed an Ignition config from a URL
Immediately fetch the Ignition config from the URL and embed it in the installed
system.
--ignition-hash <digest>
Digest (type-value) of the Ignition config
Verify that the Ignition config matches the specified digest, formatted as
<type>-<hexvalue>. <type> can be sha256 or sha512.
-a, --architecture <name>
Target CPU architecture
Create an install disk for a different CPU architecture than the host.
[default: x86_64]
-p, --platform <name>
Override the Ignition platform ID
Install a system that will run on the specified cloud or virtualization platform,
such as "vmware".
--console <spec>
Kernel and bootloader console
Set the kernel and bootloader console, using the same syntax as the parameter to the
"console=" kernel argument.
--append-karg <arg>
Append default kernel arg
Add a kernel argument to the installed system.
--delete-karg <arg>
Delete default kernel arg
Delete a default kernel argument from the installed system.
-n, --copy-network
Copy network config from install environment
Copy NetworkManager keyfiles from the install environment to the installed system.
--network-dir <path>
Override NetworkManager keyfile dir for -n
Specify the path to NetworkManager keyfiles to be copied with --copy-network.
[default: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/]
--save-partlabel <lx>
Save partitions with this label glob
Preserve any existing partitions on the destination device whose partition label (not
filesystem label) matches the specified glob pattern. Multiple patterns can be
specified in multiple options, or in a single option separated by commas.
Saved partitions will be renumbered if necessary. If partitions overlap with the
install image, or installation fails for any other reason, the specified partitions
will still be preserved.
--save-partindex <id>
Save partitions with this number or range
Preserve any existing partitions on the destination device whose partition number
matches the specified value or range. Ranges can be bounded on both ends ("5-7",
inclusive) or one end ("5-" or "-7"). Multiple numbers or ranges can be specified in
multiple options, or in a single option separated by commas.
Saved partitions will be renumbered if necessary. If partitions overlap with the
install image, or installation fails for any other reason, the specified partitions
will still be preserved.
-h, --help
Print help (see a summary with '-h')
Advanced Options:
--offline
Force offline installation
--insecure
Allow unsigned image
Allow the signature to be absent. Does not allow an existing signature to be
invalid.
--insecure-ignition
Allow Ignition URL without HTTPS or hash
--stream-base-url <URL>
Base URL for CoreOS stream metadata
Override the base URL for fetching CoreOS stream metadata. The default is
"https://builds.coreos.fedoraproject.org/streams/".
--preserve-on-error
Don't clear partition table on error
If installation fails, coreos-installer normally clears the destination's partition
table to prevent booting from invalid boot media. Skip clearing the partition table
as a debugging aid.
--fetch-retries <N>
Fetch retries, or "infinite"
Number of times to retry network fetches, or the string "infinite" to retry
indefinitely.
[default: 0]
--secure-ipl
Enable IBM Secure IPL
