Publish and Host
================

This section assumes that a user has initialized a repository with OSTree content in it. To do this,
see :doc:`sync` or :doc:`import`.

Host Content (Create a Distribution)
------------------------------------

To serve the OSTree content from Pulp, the user needs to create a distribution that will host the
associated repository at ``${PULP_BASE_ADDR}/pulp/content/<distribution.base_path>``:

.. code-block:: bash

    pulp ostree distribution create --name fedora-iot --base-path fedora-iot --repository fedora-iot

The content present in the latest repository version is automatically published and accessible by
package managers (e.g., the ``ostree`` utility).

Now, configure a local OSTree repository and consume the content, like so:

.. code-block:: bash

    ostree --repo=repo init --mode=archive
    ostree --repo=repo remote --no-gpg-verify add pulpos ${PULP_BASE_ADDR}/pulp/content/fedora-iot

    ostree pull --repo=repo --mirror pulpos:fedora/stable/x86_64/iot --depth=-1
    ostree log --repo=repo fedora/stable/x86_64/iot

Output::
