<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-firstboot</command> 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:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>The system locale, more
specifically the two locale variables
<varname>LANG=</varname> and
<varname>LC_MESSAGES</varname></para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The system time zone</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The system host name</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The machine ID of the system</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The root user's password</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>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.</para>
<para>If a setting is already initialized it will not
be overwritten and the user will not be prompted for
the setting.</para>
<para>Note that this tool operates directly on the
file system and does not involve any running system
services, unlike
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>localectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>timedatectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
or
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>hostnamectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>. This
allows <command>systemd-firstboot</command> to operate
on mounted but not booted disk images and in early
boot. It is not recommended to use
<command>systemd-firsboot</command> on the running
system while it is up.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Options</title>
<para>The following options are understood:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--root=<replaceable>root</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a directory path
as an argument. All paths will be
prefixed with the given alternate
<replaceable>root</replaceable> 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.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--locale=<replaceable>LOCALE</replaceable></option></term>
<term><option>--locale-messages=<replaceable>LOCALE</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Sets the system
locale, more specifically the
<varname>LANG=</varname> and
<varname>LC_MESSAGES</varname>
settings. The argument should be a
valid locale identifier, such as
<literal>de_DE.UTF-8</literal>. This
controls the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>locale.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
configuration file.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--timezone=<replaceable>TIMEZONE</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Sets the system time
zone. The argument should be a valid
time zone identifier, such as
<literal>Europe/Berlin</literal>. This
controls the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>localtime</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
symlink.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--hostname=<replaceable>HOSTNAME</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Sets the system
hostname. The argument should be a
host name, compatible with DNS. This
controls the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>hostname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
configuration file.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--machine-id=<replaceable>ID</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Sets the system's machine ID. This
controls the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
file.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--root-password=<replaceable>PASSWORD</replaceable></option></term>
<term><option>--root-password-file=<replaceable>PATH</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Sets the password of
the system's root user. This creates a
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>shadow</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
file. This setting exists in two
forms:
<option>--root-password=</option>
accepts the password to set directly
on the command line,
<option>--root-password-file=</option>
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
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>ps</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--prompt-locale</option></term>
<term><option>--prompt-timezone</option></term>
<term><option>--prompt-hostname</option></term>
<term><option>--prompt-root-password</option></term>
<para>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.</para>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--prompt</option></term>
<para>Query the user for locale,
timezone, hostname and root
password. This is equivalent to
specifiying
<option>--prompt-locale</option>,
<option>--prompt-timezone</option>,
<option>--prompt-hostname</option>,
<option>--prompt-root-password</option>
in combination.</para>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--copy-locale</option></term>
<term><option>--copy-timezone</option></term>
<term><option>--copy-root-password</option></term>
<para>Copy a specific basic setting
from the host. This only works in
combination with
<option>--root=</option> (see
above).</para>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--copy</option></term>
<para>Copy locale, time zone and root
password from the host. This is
equivalent to specifiying
<option>--copy-locale</option>,
<option>--copy-timezone</option>,
<option>--copy-root-password</option>
in combination.</para>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--setup-machine-id</option></term>
<para>Initialize the system's machine
ID to a random ID. This only works in
combination with
<option>--root=</option>.</para>
