Getting Started
Prerequisites
No dependencies. For building packages see the Build Packages section
Get Luet
From release
Just grab a release from the release page on GitHub. The binaries are statically compiled.
Or you can install Luet also with a single command:
curl https://luet.io/install.sh | sudo sh
Building Luet from source
Requirements:
- Golang installed in your system.
- make
$> git clone https://github.com/mudler/luet
$> cd luet
$> make build # or just go build
Install it as a system package
In the following section we will see how to install luet with luet itself. We will use a transient luet version that we are going to throw away right after we install it in the system.
# Get a luet release. It will be used to install luet in your system
wget https://github.com/mudler/luet/releases/download/0.8.3/luet-0.8.3-linux-amd64 -O luet
chmod +x luet
# Creates the luet configuration file and add the luet-index repository.
# The luet-index repository contains a collection of repositories which are
# installable and tracked in your system as standard packages.
cat > .luet.yaml <<EOF
repositories:

# Install the official luet repository to get always the latest luet version
./luet install repository/luet
# Install luet (with luet) in your system
./luet install system/luet
# Remove the temporary luet used for bootstrapping
rm -rf luet
# Copy over the config file to your system
mkdir -p /etc/luet
mv .luet.yaml /etc/luet/luet.yaml
Configuration
Luet stores its configuration files in /etc/luet. If you wish to override its default settings, create a file /etc/luet/luet.yaml.
An example of a configuration file can be found here.
There are a bunch of configuration settings available, but the most relevant are:
logging:
color: true # Enable/Disable colored output
enable_emoji: true # Enable/Disable emoji from output
general:
debug: false # Enable/Disable debug
system:
rootfs: "/" # What's our rootfs. Luet can install packages outside of "/"
database_path: "/var/db/luet" # Where to store DB files
database_engine: "boltdb"
tmpdir_base: "/var/tmp/luet" # The temporary directory to be used
To learn more about how to configure luet, see the configuration section
