NAME

       ostree-admin-unlock - Prepare the current deployment for hotfix or development

SYNOPSIS

       ostree admin unlock [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION

       Remove the read-only bind mount on /usr and replace it with a writable overlay filesystem. This default
       invocation of "unlock" is intended for development/testing purposes. All changes in the overlay are lost
       on reboot. However, this command also supports "hotfixes", see below.

OPTIONS

       --hotfix
           If this option is provided, the current deployment will be cloned as a rollback target. This option
           is intended for things like emergency security updates to userspace components such as sshd. The
           semantics here differ from the default "development" unlock mode in that reboots will retain any
           changes (which is what you likely want for security hotfixes).
