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.
