################
Image Management
################
The VyOS image-based installation is implemented by creating a directory for
each image on the storage device selected during the install process.
The directory structure of the boot device:
.. code-block:: none
/
/boot
/boot/grub
/boot/1.2.0-rolling+201810021347
The image directory contains the system kernel, a compressed image of the root
filesystem for the OS, and a directory for persistent storage, such as
configuration. On boot, the system will extract the OS image into memory and
mount the appropriate live-rw sub-directories to provide persistent storage
system configuration.
This process allows for a system to always boot to a known working state, as
the OS image is fixed and non-persistent. It also allows for multiple releases
of VyOS to be installed on the same storage device. The image can be selected
manually at boot if needed, but the system will otherwise boot the image
configured to be the default (:opcmd:`set system image default-boot`).
.. opcmd:: show system image
List all available system images which can be bootet on the current system.
.. code-block:: none
vyos@vyos:~$ show system image
The system currently has the following image(s) installed:
1: 1.2.0-rolling+201810021347 (default boot)
2: 1.2.0-rolling+201810021217
3: 1.2.0-rolling+201809252218
.. opcmd:: set system image default-boot
Select the default boot image which will be started on the next boot of the
System. A list of available images can be shown using the :opcmd:`show
system image`
.. opcmd:: delete system image [image-name]
Delete no longer needed images from the system. You can specify an optional
image name to delete, the image name can be retrieved via a list of available
images can be shown using the :opcmd:`show system image`.
.. code-block:: none
vyos@vyos:~$ delete system image
The following image(s) can be deleted:
1: 1.3-rolling-201912181733 (default boot) (running image)
2: 1.3-rolling-201912180242
3: 1.2.2
4: 1.2.1
Select the image to delete: 2
Are you sure you want to delete the
"1.3-rolling-201912180242" image? (Yes/No) [No]: y
Deleting the "1.3-rolling-201912180242" image...
Done
.. opcmd:: show version
Show current system image version.

Update VyOS
===========
New system images can be added using the :opcmd:`add system image`
command. The command will extract the chosen image and will prompt you
to use the current system configuration and SSH security keys, allowing
for the new image to boot using the current configuration.
.. note:: Only LTS releases are PGP-signed.
.. opcmd:: add system image <url | path> [vrf name] [username user [password pass]]
Use this command to install a new system image. You can reach the
image from the web (http://, https://) or from your local system,
e.g. /tmp/vyos-1.2.3-amd64.iso.
The `add system image` command also supports installing new versions
of VyOS through an optional given VRF. Also if URL in question requires
authentication, you can specify an optional username and password via
the commandline which will be passed as "Basic-Auth" to the server.
If there is not enough **free disk space available**, the installation
will be canceled. To delete images use the :opcmd:`delete system image`
command.
VyOS configuration is associated to each image, and **each image has a
unique copy of its configuration**. This is different than a traditional
network router where the configuration is shared across all images.
.. note:: If you have any personal file, like some scripts you created,
and you don't want them to be deleted during the upgrade, make sure
those files are into the ``/configure`` directory.
You can access files from a previous installation and copy them to your
current image if they were located in the ``/config`` directory. This
can be done using the :opcmd:`copy` command. So, for instance, in order
to copy ``/config/config.boot`` from VyOS 1.2.1 image, you would use the
following command:
.. code::
copy file 1.2.1://config/config.boot to /tmp/config.boot.1.2.1

After reboot you might want to verify the version you are running with
the :opcmd:`show version` command.
