SYSTEMD-FIRSTBOOT(1)                    systemd-firstboot                    SYSTEMD-FIRSTBOOT(1)



NAME
       systemd-firstboot, systemd-firstboot.service - Initialize basic system settings on or
       before the first boot-up of a system

SYNOPSIS
       systemd-firstboot [OPTIONS...]

       systemd-firstboot.service

DESCRIPTION
       systemd-firstboot initializes the most basic system settings interactively on the first
       boot, or optionally non-interactively when a system image is created. The following
       settings may be set up:

       o   The system locale, more specifically the two locale variables LANG= and LC_MESSAGES

       o   The system time zone

       o   The system host name

       o   The machine ID of the system

       o   The root user's password

       Each of the fields may either be queried interactively from the users, set
       non-interactively on the tool's command line, or be copied from a host system that is used
       to set up the system image.

       If a setting is already initialized it will not be overwritten and the user will not be
       prompted for the setting.

       Note that this tool operates directly on the file system and does not involve any running
       system services, unlike localectl(1), timedatectl(1) or hostnamectl(1). This allows
       systemd-firstboot to operate on mounted but not booted disk images and in early boot. It
       is not recommended to use systemd-firstboot on the running system while it is up.

OPTIONS
       The following options are understood:

       --root=root
           Takes a directory path as an argument. All paths will be prefixed with the given
           alternate root path, including config search paths. This is useful to operate on a
           system image mounted to the specified directory instead of the host system itself.

       --locale=LOCALE, --locale-messages=LOCALE
           Sets the system locale, more specifically the LANG= and LC_MESSAGES settings. The
           argument should be a valid locale identifier, such as "de_DE.UTF-8". This controls the
           locale.conf(5) configuration file.

       --timezone=TIMEZONE
           Sets the system time zone. The argument should be a valid time zone identifier, such
           as "Europe/Berlin". This controls the localtime(5) symlink.

       --hostname=HOSTNAME
           Sets the system hostname. The argument should be a host name, compatible with DNS.
           This controls the hostname(5) configuration file.

       --machine-id=ID
           Sets the system's machine ID. This controls the machine-id(5) file.

       --root-password=PASSWORD, --root-password-file=PATH
           Sets the password of the system's root user. This creates a shadow(5) file. This
           setting exists in two forms: --root-password= accepts the password to set directly on
           the command line, --root-password-file= reads it from a file. Note that it is not
           recommended specifying passwords on the command line as other users might be able to
           see them simply by invoking ps(1).

       --prompt-locale, --prompt-timezone, --prompt-hostname, --prompt-root-password
           Prompt the user interactively for a specific basic setting. Note that any explicit
           configuration settings specified on the command line take precedence, and the user is
           not prompted for it.

       --prompt
           Query the user for locale, timezone, hostname and root password. This is equivalent to
           specifying --prompt-locale, --prompt-timezone, --prompt-hostname,
           --prompt-root-password in combination.

       --copy-locale, --copy-timezone, --copy-root-password
           Copy a specific basic setting from the host. This only works in combination with
           --root= (see above).

       --copy
           Copy locale, time zone and root password from the host. This is equivalent to
           specifying --copy-locale, --copy-timezone, --copy-root-password in combination.

       --setup-machine-id
           Initialize the system's machine ID to a random ID. This only works in combination with
           --root=.

       -h, --help
           Print a short help text and exit.

       --version
           Print a short version string and exit.

EXIT STATUS
       On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
