# osdeploy(8) - Configure general OS deployment facilities of confluent

## SYNOPSIS

`osdeploy import <iso>`  
`osdeploy export <profile> <filename>` `osdeploy updateboot <profile>`  
`osdeploy rebase <profile>`  
`osdeploy initialize [-h] [-g] [-u] [-s] [-k] [-t] [-p] [-i] [-l] [-a] [-r]`

## DESCRIPTION

**osdeploy** manages the facilities and os deployment content of a confluent server. The `import` subcommand will generate profiles from an iso image. `updateboot` will take any changes in the specified update that need to be pushed into boot configuration and/or images and ensure those needed changes are performed. `initialize` provides assistance in setting up the most commonly required facilities. `rebase` has confluent attempt to update profile content that came from /opt/confluent in an rpm update, if profile supports it. Run `osdeploy initialize -h` for more detail on the options offered by `osdeploy initialize`.

`export` takes the profile specified and creates a file suitable for import to another confluent server. Note that this will not include the targets of symbolic links that go outside of the public or private profile date. An export will include any sensitive data embedded in the image and the requisite private keys. This is only intended for diskless and captured images.
