rhcos / coreos install rpm using rpm-ostree | 给 rhcos / coreos 安装 rpm包
⚠️注意，本文所述操作，涉及更改 openshift 4 底层操作系统 rhcos，这有可能导致失去红帽支持资格，具体的情况，请和对口的红帽 GPS 团队沟通， 或者联系红帽 CEE 团队确认。
rhcos 是一个特殊版本的coreos， 它是openshift 4的底座操作系统，在openshift 4的官方文档中，rhcos被描述成为不可变操作系统，这会让人误以为，rhcos是不可改变的。这个错误的认识，让openshift 4在项目实施的过程中，遇到很多尴尬，也让很多场景，支持起来非常的别扭。
本文我们就来探索一下，如何在 rhcos / coreos 上安装rpm包，并正确理解一下不可变操作系统。
先说结论吧，笔者认为 rhcos / coreos 的 immutable os / 不可变操作系统的意思是这样的
- 操作系统的 /usr /lib /boot 等重要分区是只读的
- 操作系统的 /etc /var 是可写的，并且升级，重启保留/合并客户的修改内容。
- 操作系统的整个文件系统，使用类似 git 版本的方式管理，并且（当前）最多有2个版本
- 由于使用git方式管理，操作系统的改动，可以分为版本切换，和patch（layerd package)。其中版本切换，是中心下发的大版本升级，而patch可以认为是各个设备上做的小的修改。
而最终的实验结果，告诉我们，rhcos / coreos 是可以安装rpm的，安装命令是 rpm-ostree 。
接下来，我们就开始做实验，探索一下。以下是实验的部署架构图，部署结构很简单，就是一个openshift 4.10.26的6节点机器，并且有一个外部的rhel 8.4作为repo源。

openshift 4 using rpm-ostree install
使用rpm-ostree install并不神秘，openshift 4 支持的 machine config extension 操作的时候，就使用 rpm-ostree install来装软件包的。比如，如果我们激活 openshift 4 real-time kernel的支持，在node上看，就能看到他是通过装了更多的rpm来实现的。

# CustomOrigin: Managed by machine-config-operator
# Version: 49.84.202110220538-0 (2021-10-22T05:41:35Z)在这里，我们可以看到，他是装了real-time kernel相关的rpm包来实现的，同时，他还删除了一些kernel相关的包。
using single rpm file
我们先做一个准备实验，如果我们有一个rpm文件，我们能下载并且直接安装吗？后面，如果openshift 4升级了，这个安装的rpm还在吗？
为了回答这个问题，我们就从epel上，下载一个 htop 的 rpm， 然后安装一下看看。

可以看到，htop rpm文件，是可以单独安装的，并且集群升级以后，这个rpm还在，patch的类型是LocalPackages。
using repo source
我们平常项目里面，要装的rpm很多，并且这些rpm还有依赖，那么rhcos能用传统的repo的方式，我们指定repo源，它就帮我们自动解析依赖，自动安装呢？
接下来，我们就从配置一个rpm源开始，一步一步的操作看看结果。
rpm simplified list
首先，我们确定一下，我们要装如下的rpm包。
htop lshw numactl libhugetlbfs-utils iperf3 tcpdump pdns pdns-recursorbuild the repo
然后，我们要做一个rpm的repo。

createrepo ./至此，我们就有一个目录，目录里面是一个小小的rpm repo。
setup repo source
接下来，我们就把这个目录，通过http的方式发布出去，让openshift 4的节点，能使用到。
systemctl disable --now firewalld
mkdir -p /data/dnf
mount /dev/vdb1 /data/dnf
cd /data/dnf/dnf-ocp-4.10-simple
python3 -m http.server 5180install to rhcos
我们使用前面提供好的rpm repo，并且在worker节点上安装我们需要的包。
