Photon RPM OSTree: Appendix A: Known issues

systemd-networkd and systemd-resolved not starting in the updated image, on reboot

If you compose a custom image on the server, download at the RPM-OSTree host the updated image and reboot, systemd-networkd may report an access denied error. This is a bug that was discovered very late and we didn't have time to address it for Photon v1.0 GA. We will have a fix in the update repo, as soon as we can get it ready.

Package differences between RPM-OSTree "minimal" and minimal installation profile

There are less packages installed by selecting the default "minimal" reftag in the RPM-OSTree host than if you were to install minimal Photon at the top of the ISO installer. That is because we were constrained by size of the ostree repo that we include on the cdrom, but we still wanted to have a starter repo included in order to install fast the server and the default client. This is easy to overcome - just add the wanted package names in the photon-base.json and re-compose the tree.

Manual pages not included for installed packages

The packages in photon-base.json don't have their manual pages installed. This is for the same reason - keep the cdrom included ostree repo size small. If you want the manual pages, just change to true the documentation setting in photon-base.json and re-compose.
