The intro of systemd-firstboot is rewritten to make it clearer how it fits into the big picture. Systemd does some machine-id and presets and systemd-firstboot.service is used to interactively fill in the blanks. Closes #22225.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <command>systemd-firstboot.service</command> unit is one of the units which are used to
|
|
initialize the machine configuration during "First Boot", i.e. when the system is freshly installed or
|
|
after a factory reset. The
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> manager
|
|
itself will initialize
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> and preset
|
|
all units, enabling or disabling them according to the
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.preset</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
settings. <filename>systemd-firstboot.service</filename> is started later to interactively initialize
|
|
basic system configuration. It is started only if <varname>ConditionFirstBoot=yes</varname> is met, which
|
|
essentially means that <filename>/etc/</filename> is unpopulated, see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
|
|
details. System credentials may be used to inject configuration; those settings are not queried
|
|
interactively.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <command>systemd-firstboot</command> command can also be used to non-interactively initialize
|
|
an offline system image.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The following settings may be configured:</para>

|

<itemizedlist>

|
|
|
|
<para>Each of the fields may either be queried interactively by
|
|
users, set non-interactively on the tool's command line, or be
|
|
copied from a host system that is used to set up the system
|
|
image.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If a setting is already initialized, it will not be
|
|
overwritten and the user will not be prompted for the
|
|
setting.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that this tool operates directly on the file system and
|
|
does not involve any running system services, unlike
|
|
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>localectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>timedatectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
or
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>hostnamectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
This allows <command>systemd-firstboot</command> to operate on
|
|
mounted but not booted disk images and in early boot. It is not
|
|
recommended to use <command>systemd-firstboot</command> on the
|
|
running system after it has been set up.</para>

they remain applied for subsequent boots, and the credentials are not considered anymore.</para>
