transactional-update.conf — transactional-update configuration files

Synopsis

%sysconfdir%/transactional-update.conf
%prefix%%sysconfdir%/transactional-update.conf
%prefix%%sysconfdir%/transactional-update.conf.d/*

Description

These configuration files control and define the behaviour of transactional-update(8).

The configuration files use shell style assignments, e.g. PARAMETER=value.

A reference file (also used for reading the default values) can be found in %prefix%%sysconfdir%/transactional-update.conf. Additionally packages may overwrite these default values by putting files into %prefix%%sysconfdir%/transactional-update.conf.d/; files in that directory will be read alphabetically, assignments in later files will overwrite previous assignments. Admin settings in %sysconfdir%/transactional-update.conf will have the highest precedence.

Options

The following options are available in the transactional-update section:

REBOOT_METHOD

Specify the reboot method to use.

`auto`	Uses `rebootmgr` if available and active; falls back to `systemd` otherwise. This is the default value. If the option is invalid it will also be used as the fallback value.
`kured`	Will inform kured (kubernetes reboot daemon) to reboot the system.
`rebootmgr`	Triggers rebootmgrctl(1) to initiate a `reboot` or, if possible and that information is provided by zypp-boot-plugin(8) and it is allowed in tukit.conf(5), a faster `soft-reboot`.
`systemd`	Uses systemctl(1) to initiate a reboot. This can either be a full `reboot` or, if possible and that information is provided by zypp-boot-plugin(8) and it is allowed in tukit.conf(5), a faster `soft-reboot` or `kexec`.
`kexec`	Will use kexec to reboot the system; this will skip hardware initialization and thus boot faster than `systemd`. This option is deprecated, use `systemd` together with zypp-boot-plugin(8) to automatically detect whether `kexec` can be used.
`notify`	Trigger the Transactional Update Notifier to inform the user about the necessary reboot.
`none`	Ignores any reboot request, the user has to reboot the machine manually or by other means.

UPDATE_METHOD

Specify the zypper update method to use. This value is used for transactional-update.service(8) and in case no command is specified when calling transactional-update.

dup

Uses zypper dup for updating the system; use this on rolling release distributions like openSUSE Tumbleweed, openSUSE Kubic or the SUSE CaaS Platform.

This is the default value.

up

Uses zypper up for updating the system; use this for regular releases like openSUSE Leap or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server / Desktop.

ZYPPER_AUTO_IMPORT_KEYS

If set to 1 GPG keys will be imported automatically for new repositories. If set to 0 updates will fail if a key is unknown. For security reasons this option is turned off (0) by default.
