NAME
org.freedesktop.portable1 - The D-Bus interface of systemd-portabled
INTRODUCTION
systemd-portabled.service(8) is a system service that may be used to
attach, detach and inspect portable services. This page describes the
D-Bus interface.
THE MANAGER OBJECT
The service exposes the following interfaces on the Manager object on
the bus:

interface org.freedesktop.portable1.Manager {

Methods
GetImage() may be used to get the image object path of the image with
the specified name.
ListImages() returns an array of all currently known images. The
structures in the array consist of the following fields: image name,
type, read-only flag, creation time, modification time, current disk
space, usage and image object path.
GetImageOSRelease() retrieves the OS release information of an image.
This method returns an array of key value pairs read from the os-
release(5) file in the image and is useful to identify the operating
system used in a portable service.
GetImageMetadata() retrieves metadata associated with an image. This
method returns the image name, the image's os-release(5) content in the
form of a (streamable) array of bytes, and a list of portable units
contained in the image, in the form of a string (unit name) and an
array of bytes with the content.
GetImageMetadataWithExtensions() retrieves metadata associated with an
image. This method is a superset of GetImageMetadata() with the
addition of a list of extensions as input parameter, which were
overlaid on top of the main image via AttachImageWithExtensions(). The
path of each extension and an array of bytes with the content of the
respective extension-release file are returned, one such structure for
each extension named in the input arguments.
GetImageState() retrieves the image state as one of the following
strings:
o detached
o attached
o attached-runtime
o enabled
o enabled-runtime
o running
o running-runtime
GetImageStateWithExtensions() is a superset of GetImageState(), with
additional support for a list of extensions as input parameters, which
is necessary to query the state in case the image was attached in that
particular way. The flag parameter is currently unused and reserved for
future purposes.
AttachImage() attaches a portable image to the system. This method
takes an image path or name, a list of strings that will be used to
search for unit files inside the image (partial or complete matches), a
string indicating which portable profile to use for the image (see
Profiles property for a list of available profiles), a boolean
indicating whether to attach the image only for the current boot
session, and a string representing the preferred copy mode (whether to
copy the image or to just symlink it) with the following possible
values:
o (null)
o copy
o symlink
This method returns the list of changes applied to the system (for
example, which unit was added and is now available as a system
service). Each change is represented as a triplet of strings: the type
of change applied, the path on which it was applied, and the source (if
any). The type of change applied will be one of the following possible
values:
o copy
o symlink
o write
o mkdir
Note that an image cannot be attached if a unit that it contains is
already present on the system. Note that this method returns only after
all the listed operations are completed, and due to the I/O involved it
might take some time.
AttachImageWithExtensions() attaches a portable image to the system.
This method is a superset of AttachImage() with the addition of a list
of extensions as input parameter, which will be overlaid on top of the
main image. When this method is used, detaching must be done by passing
the same arguments via the DetachImageWithExtensions() method. For more
details on this functionality, see the MountImages= entry on
systemd.exec(5) and systemd-sysext(8).
DetachImage() detaches a portable image from the system. This method
takes an image path or name, and a boolean indicating whether the image
to detach was attached only for the current boot session or
persistently. This method returns the list of changes applied to the
system (for example, which unit was removed and is no longer available
as a system service). Each change is represented as a triplet of
strings: the type of change applied, the path on which it was applied,
and the source (if any). The type of change applied will be one of the
following possible values:
o unlink
Note that an image cannot be detached if a unit that it contains is
running. Note that this method returns only after all the listed
operations are completed, and due to the I/O involved it might take
some time.
DetachImageWithExtensions() detaches a portable image from the system.
This method is a superset of DetachImage() with the addition of a list
of extensions as input parameter, which were overlaid on top of the
main image via AttachImageWithExtensions(). The flag parameter is
currently unused and reserved for future purposes.
ReattachImage() combines the effects of the AttachImage() method and
the DetachImage() method. The difference is that it is allowed to
reattach an image while one or more of its units are running. The
reattach operation will fail if no matching image is attached. The
input parameters match the AttachImage() method, and the return
parameters are the combination of the return parameters of the
DetachImage() method (first array, units that were removed) and the
AttachImage() method (second array, units that were updated or added).
ReattachImageWithExtensions() reattaches a portable image to the
system. This method is a superset of ReattachImage() with the addition
of a list of extensions as input parameter, which will be overlaid on
top of the main image. For more details on this functionality, see the
MountImages= entry on systemd.exec(5) and systemd-sysext(8). The flag
parameter is currently unused and reserved for future purposes
RemoveImage() removes the image with the specified name.
MarkImageReadOnly() toggles the read-only flag of an image.
SetPoolLimit() sets an overall quota limit on the pool of images.
SetImageLimit() sets a per-image quota limit.
The AttachImageWithExtensions(), DetachImageWithExtensions() and
ReattachImageWithExtensions() methods take in options as flags instead
of booleans to allow for extendability.
SD_SYSTEMD_PORTABLE_FORCE_ATTACH will cause safety checks that ensure
the units are not running while the new image is attached or detached
to be skipped. SD_SYSTEMD_PORTABLE_FORCE_SYSEXT will cause the check
that the extension-release.NAME file in the extension image matches the
image name to be skipped. They are defined as follows:
#define SD_SYSTEMD_PORTABLE_RUNTIME (UINT64_C(1) << 0)
#define SD_SYSTEMD_PORTABLE_FORCE_ATTACH (UINT64_C(1) << 1)
#define SD_SYSTEMD_PORTABLE_FORCE_SYSEXT (UINT64_C(1) << 2)
Properties
PoolPath specifies the file system path where images are written to.
PoolUsage specifies the current usage size of the image pool in bytes.
PoolLimit specifies the size limit of the image pool in bytes.
Profiles specifies the available runtime profiles for portable
services.

Methods
The following methods implement the same operation as the respective
methods on the Manager object (see above). However, these methods
operate on the image object and hence does not take an image name
parameter. Invoking the methods directly on the Manager object has the
advantage of not requiring a GetImage() call to get the image object
for a specific image name. Calling the methods on the Manager object is
hence a round trip optimization. List of methods:
o GetOSRelease()
o GetMetadata()
o GetMetadataWithExtensions()
o GetState()
o Attach()
o AttachWithExtensions()
o Detach()
o DetachWithExtensions()
o Reattach()
o ReattachWithExtensions()
o Remove()
o MarkReadOnly()
o SetLimit()
Properties
Name specifies the image name.
Path specifies the file system path where image is stored.
Type specifies the image type.
ReadOnly specifies whether the image is read-only.
CreationTimestamp specifies the image creation timestamp.
ModificationTimestamp specifies the image modification timestamp.
Usage specifies the image disk usage.
Limit specifies the image disk usage limit.
UsageExclusive specifies the image disk usage (exclusive).
LimitExclusive specifies the image disk usage limit (exclusive).
VERSIONING
These D-Bus interfaces follow the usual interface versioning
guidelines[1].
