When/how are images supposed to be pulled from github?
I recently started using bluebuild and I really like it. However, one thing I don't quite understand is when/how you are supposed to get the new images built on github. I thought there would be a cron-job or something polling.
I can of course rebase manually but if Im running ”latest” I generally want to get the latest build on each reboot.
As a sidenote, is there an easy say of checking which build I am currently running?
Thanks in advance! 🙂

if you're on :latest and not on a date tag, rpm-ostree should autoupdate by default
rpm-ostree update or bootc update (or was it upgrade, i dont remember rn) can be used to manually pull the latest version of the tag you've rebased to
with autoupdates i mostly just dont worry about it, but sometimes manually updating is helpful when testing something out
rpm-ostree status should tell the version you're on
i believe it's done with a systemd rpm-ostreed-autoupdate.timer or something like thatupdate & upgrade are the same
rpm-ostreed-automatic.timerCool, thanks! 😄
Maybe I've just not waited long enough then because I've had times where I've waited until the build succeeds in github, reboot and then not gotten the changes I had made.
Btw for this you may want to change the frequency/ afterbootdelay
I just took a look and if I understand it correctly it only runs at 04 each day so that would explain why I didn't notice it before 😅
i'm not sure if that's accurate, my computer isn't on at that time yet i still receive updates
I think it also updates 1h after boot at default
