Okay idea overall. I like the idea of less busybox. Busybox → util-linux should probably be a patch of its own.

That's a problem that's going to need to be fixed. We're not mixing two different libcs on the host.

Unfortunately, systemd-pull can't be built with musl libc. That leaves four options:

1. Try to fix the build problem, knowing that it could come back. 2. Mix two libcs on the host. 3. Try to fix the build (but this could take quite a while to upstream). 4. Use glibc on the host.

I don't think we should ship with option 2, but I think it might be acceptable until the underlying problem is solved.

Depends how hard it is to fix I suppose. What's the actual issue?

I didn't check.

Let's stick with the minimal one until there's a need, then.

I don't want to block on either of those, and I'd rather not risk breaking the build whenever util-linux adds a new tool. It's pretty clear that util-linux is to be preferred over Busybox in the event of a conflict.

This does add bloat, but there are far *more* sources of bloat right now, so I think that should be part of a more general debloating effort.

How would disabling the conflicting tools in Busybox like we've done so far block?

Spectrum OS's host has no network access. Updates must be downloaded by VMs. The downloads are placed into a bind-mounted directory. The VM can write whatever it wants into that directory. This includes symlinks that subsequent code might open, which would create a path traversal vulnerability. It also includes paths with names containing containing terminal escape sequences, newlines, or other nastiness. Furthermore, the directory should not have any subdirectories either.

Add a simple C program that checks for such ugliness and indicates (via its exit code) if the VM misbehaved. It also ensures that both SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.gpg are present.

I still don't really understand why this needs to be a C program instead of find -H /path/to/dir -not -type f. None of the other checks seem very necessary?

I trust this code more than I trust (especially) the Busybox implementation of find.

For opening files given on the command line, wouldn't we want to use the mount's symlink behaviour? The VM presumably can't replace the root directory shared with it with a symlink.

Right now, the directory shared is actually the parent of the directory with the updates. This is because of a limitation in the updated start-vm script. As you point out later, that's not the best approach. Much better to bind-mount only the directories needed.

Include a new 'update' command to update the system. This works as follows:

1. Take a global, system-wide lock. 2. Create a BTRFS subvolume for the sys.updates VM to write the updates. 3. Bind-mount this subvolume into the VM's shared directory. 4. Start sys.updates to get the updates. 5. Wait for the VM to shut down. 6. Take a BTRFS snapshot of the subvolume. 7. Call syncfs() to flush all of the data on the subvolume.

Why do we need to do this?

8. Inspect the contents of the subvolume. Check that everything is a regular file and that the names are reasonable. Check that SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.gpg are present. 9. Call systemd-sysupdate to run the actual update.

Busybox fdisk doesn't support GPT, only MBR. Busybox programs are also often buggy, so use the util-linux version where possible. This requires disabling a lot of Busybox applets, so move the Busybox config to a separate file that Nix loads via builtins.readFile.

Let's fix this upstream instead:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/461277

Is it okay if I keep this until that PR is merged and Spectrum uses a nixpkgs that has it? I'd prefer to not send patches that I can't test, and without that PR the override is still needed. Even after the PR is merged, the override is harmless. I'll add a link to the PR in a comment.

Looks like this will be fixed upstream (as a build error) in the next systemd release.

Indeed so. -- Sincerely, Demi Marie Obenour (she/her/hers)

Spectrum OS's host has no network access. Updates must be downloaded by VMs. The downloads are placed into a bind-mounted directory. The VM can write whatever it wants into that directory. This includes symlinks that subsequent code might open, which would create a path traversal vulnerability.

Spectrum OS's host has no network access. Updates must be downloaded by VMs. The downloads are placed into a bind-mounted directory. The VM can write whatever it wants into that directory. This includes symlinks that subsequent code might open, which would create a path traversal vulnerability. It also includes paths with names containing containing terminal escape sequences, newlines, or other nastiness. Furthermore, the directory should not have any subdirectories either.

Add a simple C program that checks for such ugliness and indicates (via its exit code) if the VM misbehaved. It also ensures that both SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.gpg are present.

This needs updated, because it doesn't any more.

Will fix in v3.

Kernel headers should always follow libc headers. Sometimes they rely on defines from libc (especially with musl). Although openat2 doesn't actually seem to be used any more, so these headers just need a prune.

Will fix.

Would be a POSIX violation for d_name not to be valid I think.

Indeed it would be, but I preferred to check that explicitly.

...

+ size_t len = strnlen(entry->d_name, entry->d_reclen - offsetof(struct dirent, d_name));

POSIX also guarantees a terminating null byte, so strlen() would be fine here.

I preferred to double-check libc, but if you prefer to get rid of those assertions I'm okay with that.

Would the comparison not be valid without the cast?

It would be in this case, but the subsequent cast to int in the error path assumes that the cast was done. Signed characters are much trickier and casting to unsigned makes the code easier to reason about.

I'm still not sold on this validation, but as long as it doesn't cause problems I guess it's fine.

Wasn't O_NOFOLLOW going to be removed here?

It should never be called on a symlink, so if it does that is a bug in the caller. I can remove it if you prefer, though.

-- Sincerely, Demi Marie Obenour (she/her/hers)

systemd-sysupdate has strict requirements on the partition layout: - The label of the active partition must match the template in the .transfer file. For instance, the root filesystem of Spectrum 0.0.0 will be in a partition with label Spectrum_0.0.0. - The label of the inactive partition must either be that of the old version of Spectrum or "_empty". The former indicates an incomplete update. - The partition type UUID must conform to the Discoverable Partition Specification. After installing an image to a partition, systemd-sysupdate updates the label of the partition to match the image's version. However, it does not update the partition UUID. Therefore, use the partition label, not the partition UUID, to find the root filesystem and its verity metadata. systemd-sysupdate will fail if the OS image does not fit in the partitions that the installer created. Therefor, make the partitions very large so that there is plenty of room for the OS to grow. This requires rewriting the code that calculates the partition sizes. Since the partition label includes the OS version, add an OS version number. Use 0.0.0 to indicate that Spectrum OS is still in very early development and should not be used. The version number can be overridden in the build configuration file. mkfs.ext4 is not able to produce images with files large enough to hold both the primary and backup copy of the root partition [1]. Reducing the sizes of partitions to be little greater than the size of the root filesystem image does not help. The produced file is still too large. Therefore, compress the image, which causes it to be small enough that mkfs.ext4 can handle it. This breaks the live image, so remove it. The live image will return once Spectrum switches to the GNOME OS installer [2].

I'd just inline these as string interpolations rather than passing them as environment variables (except maybe VERSION).

In general, this is very bad practice and has caused security vulnerabilities in GitHub Actions. These have even been exploited in the wild. However, this is *not* a vulnerability in this context as the input is trusted and known not to contain shell metacharacters. I mostly wanted to avoid bad habits that are fine in the Nix context, but not in others.

Include a new 'update' command to update the system. This works as follows: 1. Take a global, system-wide lock. 2. Create a BTRFS subvolume for the sys.updates VM to write the updates. 3. Bind-mount this subvolume into the VM's shared directory. 4. Start sys.appvm-updates to get the updates. 5. Wait for the VM to shut down. 6. Take a BTRFS snapshot of the subvolume. 7. Call syncfs() to flush all of the data on the subvolume. 8. Inspect the contents of the subvolume. Check that everything is a regular file and that the names are reasonable. Check that SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.gpg are present. 9. Call systemd-sysupdate to run the actual update. sys.appvm-updates uses host-provided information to fetch the update. This allows editing files on the host to change the update URL and signing key.

Include a new 'update' command to update the system. This works as follows:

1. Take a global, system-wide lock. 2. Create a BTRFS subvolume for the sys.updates VM to write the updates. 3. Bind-mount this subvolume into the VM's shared directory. 4. Start sys.appvm-updates to get the updates. 5. Wait for the VM to shut down. 6. Take a BTRFS snapshot of the subvolume. 7. Call syncfs() to flush all of the data on the subvolume. 8. Inspect the contents of the subvolume. Check that everything is a regular file and that the names are reasonable. Check that SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.gpg are present.

Not any more.

Will fix.

...

9. Call systemd-sysupdate to run the actual update.

sys.appvm-updates uses host-provided information to fetch the update. This allows editing files on the host to change the update URL and signing key.

I think it would make more sense to do these at the Make layer. It handles other generated files, so I don't see why it can't handle these too, and then if I add something to os-release I don't have to rebuild any Nix stuff.

No, it works fine in this case. I checked :).

I'd do

foreground { redirfd -w 2 /dev/null btrfs subvolume delete -- shared } if { btrfs subvolume create -- shared }

and then you know you've got an empty subvolume.

An empty subvolume isn't good: it means that systemd-sysupdate will redownload an update even when it isn't needed.

Why not btrfs subvolume delete? It's faster and won't print names.

It doesn't distinguish "subvolume doesn't exist" from "problem deleting subvolume". A better solution is to call `rm -f` if `btrfs subvolume delete` failed. That ignores "does not exist" errors, but not other errors.

It might be more robust to use a transient VM, like we use for AppImages, so that nothing can restart it. Transient VMs are still developing though, so it's also fine to say we'll do it this way for now and adapt it later. This would also save all the filesystem resetting you're needing to do here.

The path to the update directory is user-provided. It's not from the VM's persistent storage.

An empty subvolume isn't good: it means that systemd-sysupdate will redownload an update even when it isn't needed.

When would the update have already been downloaded but not applied? Only if there's an error in actually installing it? I'd feel happier knowing we were always starting with a clean state.

The existence of the downloaded files is how the update VM knows "we already have the latest version installed, don't try to download anything new". The VM doesn't know the actual version installed on the host, so it can't query this by other means.

Right — I now understand. I think going forward we might want to consider having to substitute more than once as an indication that the script is too complicated for execline, which I'm sure you'll be happy to here. But we can do this way for now and do a full audit of our execline scripts later when we get a chance.

That seems like a good idea. The multisubstitute command is there for a reason, though :).

Okay. Can we do this at the point of use? I'd rather not have a special override for this one config value — it's another place to have to remember to read to understand how config works.

Seems like overkill to use an envfile for a single URL?

It is indeed overkill, but I'm not aware of a simpler option. There is backtick + cat but that's two programs rather than one.

I think the canonical way would be redirfd + withstdinas, but that's also two programs, so if you want to avoid that, perhaps s6-envdir? Reading it isn't any simpler but writing it at least doesn't require a special tool.

We need sed to generate the .transfer files anyway.

What does sed have to do with envfile/s6-envdir/etc?

The envfile and the .transfer files were both generated with sed, so using an envfile didn't require any extra tools. However, v3 doesn't use an envfile anymore, so this is moot.

"hwdb: drop trailing whitespace"?

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/39723 ("systemd-sysupdate checks for SHA256SUMS.sha256.asc when fetching from file:///"), which was fixed in <https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/aa7574417b86ac0bb7ed492b7cfc872e9ace15d7> ("pull: fix SHA256SUMS fallback for file:// URLs"). systemd v258.1 should have the fix. Does Spectrum use an older nixpkgs?

Yes, we're still on 258. I expect an update before this series is applied though, because then we'll also pick up the systemd musl fix.

That's good, thanks! v3 switches to SHA256SUMS.sha256.asc, as it seems to be the "proper" filename. -- Sincerely, Demi Marie Obenour (she/her/hers)

Would it be okay to mention that it is WIP, and also add a link to the build configuration options for those who *have* built their own images? That will continue to be relevant even after official binary releases are available. Developers are users too, and they might be a bit confused when their image either doesn't update at all or updates to an official build without any of their changes.

I think it would make more sense to cover that in the section about building your own images, because ideally you find this out just before you build your image, whereas here you might end up only finding it after and have to rebuild.

If not, that's a systemd-sysupdate bug.

Last time[1] I asked why this couldn't just be listed in the packages list like everything else. Would still like to know.

It can and should be listed there. I just forgot to make the change.

Spectrum OS's host has no network access. Updates must be downloaded by VMs. The downloads are placed into a bind-mounted directory. The VM can write whatever it wants into that directory. This includes symlinks that subsequent code might open, which would create a path traversal vulnerability. It also includes paths with names containing containing terminal escape sequences, newlines, or other nastiness. Furthermore, the directory should not have any subdirectories either. Add a simple C program that checks for such ugliness and indicates (via its exit code) if the VM misbehaved. systemd-sysupdate can leave behind temporary files with names starting with '.', so delete them instead of failing. Linux can lose cache coherency if there is an I/O error, so call syncfs() on the directory before checking anything. For the same reason, fsync() the directory if any hidden files were deleted. The directory checker also serves another critical function: it checks if the VM actually downloaded anything. Otherwise, network problems could cause updates to silently do nothing. Specifically, it checks that the VM provided a file starting with the prefix "SHA256SUMS.". These will be the last ones the in-VM updater downloads. An additional mode is provided to clean out all such files. This will be used to ensure that before the in-VM updater runs, no such files are present. Hence, if the VM didn't actually download anything, the user will get a clear error instead of a false success message or a confusing error.

systemd-sysupdate has strict requirements on the partition layout: - The label of the active partition must match the template in the .transfer file. For instance, the root filesystem of Spectrum 0.0.0 must be in a partition with label "Spectrum_0.0.0", and the verity partition must have the label "Spectrum_0.0.0.verity". - The label of the inactive partition must be that of the old version of Spectrum, or "_empty" for freshly installed systems. - The partition type UUID must conform to the Discoverable Partition Specification. Also, the UKI must have a name that includes the OS version. Otherwise, it will not be deleted during updates. Since the partition label includes the OS version, add an OS version number. Use 0.0.0 to indicate that Spectrum OS is still in very early development and should not be used. The version number can be overridden in the build configuration file.

systemd-sysupdate will fail if the OS image does not fit in the partitions that the installer created. Therefor, the partitions need to be very large so that there is plenty of room for the OS to grow. Furthermore, systemd-sysupdate requires both A and B copies of both the root and verity partitions. mkfs.ext4 is not able to produce images with files large enough to hold both the primary and backup copy of the root partition [1]. Reducing the sizes of partitions to be little greater than the size of the root filesystem image does not help. The produced file is still too large. Therefore, compress the image, which causes it to be small enough that mkfs.ext4 can handle it. This breaks the option to use the installer as a live image. Therefore, remove it. This option will return once Spectrum switches to the GNOME OS installer [2]. However, it is still possible to build a live image that is separate from the installer. Document how to build and use it. GRUB2 does support compressed loopback images, but these presumably buffer the whole image in memory. Since the entire installer will be replaced, making it work is not considered worthwhile.

systemd-sysupdate never writes to the running OS partition. Instead, it requires a separate partition to write the update into. Create a separate partition for that purpose. systemd-sysupdate will fail if the OS image does not fit in the partitions that the installer created. Therefor, make the partitions very large so that there is plenty of room for the OS to grow. This requires rewriting the code that calculates the partition sizes.

Include a new `spectrum-update` command to update the system. This tells the new sys.appvm-systemd-sysupdate VM to download the updates into a staging directory using systemd-sysupdate. The host then runs systemd-sysupdate to apply the updates itself. sys.appvm-systemd-sysupdate uses host-provided information to fetch the update. This allows editing files on the host to change the update URL and signing key. Updates require /boot to be mounted so that systemd-sysupdate can update the unified kernel image. They also require that /tmp is writable so that they can store temporary files, so put a tmpfs there. Furthermore, there needs to be a directory for storing downloaded updates. Create /home so that users can mount their persistent data there. The directory the VM downloads updates into is *not* reset (wiped) before or after the update. This allows the VM to know if the system is already up to date. Otherwise, it would redownload the entire multi-gigabyte update image. Updates are currently not compressed. This should be changed in the future, but it would add a small amount of additional complexity. In particular, the script generating the update directory would need to generate a SHA256SUMS containing the hash of both the compressed and uncompressed versions. More importantly, the VM must not be able to make the host use the compressed version. This would be a potential security risk because decompression happens before signature verification. GnuPG currently decompresses signatures, but in the future it will be replaced by Sequoia which does not. Signed-off-by: Demi Marie Obenour <demiobenour@gmail.com> --- Changes since v2: - Generate the transfer files in the guest, not the host. - Do not use an environment file. - Reject URLs that cannot work. - Escape sed metacharacters. - Escape backslashes for systemd-sysupdate. - Do not validate update URLs at build time, only at runtime. - Reject only update URLs that cannot possibly work. - Set the partition UUIDs according to systemd's recommendation. - Do not rely on finding partitions by label. - Strip leading and trailing whitespace from the update URL. - Rename the update command from `update` to `spectrum-update`. - Delete the list of steps. Replace it with comments in the script. The awk script in the VM rejects URLs that contain whitespace. This is because they can't work, and passing them to systemd-sysupdate would require figuring out how to escape them. Rejecting such bogus URLs is simpler than preventing them from being mangled. --- host/rootfs/Makefile | 19 ++++- host/rootfs/default.nix | 14 ++-- host/rootfs/file-list.mk | 7 ++ host/rootfs/image/etc/fstab | 1 + .../image/etc/sysupdate.d/50-verity.transfer | 20 ++++++ host/rootfs/image/etc/sysupdate.d/60-root.transfer | 20 ++++++ .../image/etc/sysupdate.d/70-kernel.transfer | 20 ++++++ .../image/etc/vm-sysupdate.d/50-verity.transfer | 18 +++++ .../image/etc/vm-sysupdate.d/60-root.transfer | 18 +++++ .../image/etc/vm-sysupdate.d/70-kernel.transfer | 18 +++++ host/rootfs/image/usr/bin/spectrum-update | 83 ++++++++++++++++++++++ host/rootfs/os-release.in | 15 ++++ lib/config.default.nix | 2 + lib/config.nix | 11 ++- lib/fake-update-signing-key.gpg | 3 + release/live/shell.nix | 3 +- vm/app/systemd-sysupdate/default.nix | 57 +++++++++++++++ vm/app/systemd-sysupdate/escape-url.awk | 31 ++++++++ .../systemd-sysupdate/populate-transfer-directory | 26 +++++++ 19 files changed, 376 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/host/rootfs/Makefile b/host/rootfs/Makefile index 0d71dd1441077c9f30945e5063aacbfc240a9006..fe728b6b385862487dab06d832e79b29d57697a8 100644 --- a/host/rootfs/Makefile +++ b/host/rootfs/Makefile @@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ include file-list.mk ROOT_FS_DIR = build DIRS = \ + boot \ dev \ etc/s6-linux-init/env \ etc/s6-linux-init/run-image/configs \ @@ -38,13 +39,15 @@ DIRS = \ etc/s6-linux-init/run-image/vm/by-id \ etc/s6-linux-init/run-image/vm/by-name \ ext \ + home \ proc \ run \ - sys + sys \ + tmp FIFOS = etc/s6-linux-init/run-image/service/s6-svscan-log/fifo -BUILD_FILES = build/etc/s6-rc +BUILD_FILES = build/etc/s6-rc build/etc/os-release build/etc/update-url # This rule produces three files but Make only (portably) # supports one output per rule.

Wrong values for the version or update URL will cause very confusing build-time or runtime errors. Provide a better user experience by validating them up-front. The update URL validator is loose. It rejects only URLs that cannot possibly work: either appending /SHA256SUMS to them doesn't append to the path, or they will definitely be rejected by curl due to being malformed. The version validator is in lib/config.nix, as the version number is used in many places. It checks that the version only uses characters that are permitted by systemd's version number specification [1] and that will not break code that uses them in shell or sed commands.

Busybox fdisk doesn't support GPT, only MBR. Busybox programs are also often buggy, so use the util-linux version where possible. This requires disabling a lot of Busybox applets, so move the Busybox config to a separate file that Nix loads via builtins.readFile.

Due to a systemd bug [1], building systemd-sysupdate does not require that systemd-pull is built as well. However, systemd-sysupdate has a run-time dependency on systemd-pull. Therefore, override the systemd derivation so that systemd-pull is built. Confusingly, this requires enabling systemd-importd. If systemd-pull or systemd-sysupdate is not built, the resulting image will be broken and users will not be able to recover without either a reinstall or reverting to the previous version.

Spectrum OS's host has no network access. Updates must be downloaded by VMs. The downloads are placed into a bind-mounted directory. The VM can write whatever it wants into that directory. This includes symlinks that subsequent code might open, which would create a path traversal vulnerability. It also includes paths with names containing containing terminal escape sequences, newlines, or other nastiness. Furthermore, the directory should not have any subdirectories either. Add a simple C program that checks for such ugliness and indicates (via its exit code) if the VM misbehaved. systemd-sysupdate can leave behind temporary files with names starting with '.', so delete them instead of failing. Linux can lose cache coherency if there is an I/O error, so call syncfs() on the directory before checking anything. For the same reason, fsync() the directory if any hidden files were deleted. The directory checker also serves another critical function: it checks if the VM actually downloaded anything. Otherwise, network problems could cause updates to silently do nothing. Specifically, it checks that the VM provided a file starting with the prefix "SHA256SUMS.". These will be the last ones the in-VM updater downloads. An additional mode is provided to clean out all such files. This will be used to ensure that before the in-VM updater runs, no such files are present. Hence, if the VM didn't actually download anything, the user will get a clear error instead of a false success message or a confusing error.

If we did that consistently our Makefiles would be unreadable because it'd be hard to see past all the sets to the actual functionality, and seeing this here when it's not set on every command makes me wonder what's special about this one, which turns out to be nothing.

Either unrolling the loop, or using a modulo inside the loop and getting rid of the format_uuid() call afterwards, would have helped me figure out what this does a lot quicker, but I see now that we're generating the two UUIDs we had before, and then two additional UUIDs offset into the string. I guess this is something to do with having multiple copies of the OS installed, but I wish I understood how the offset ones will be used without having to go hunting in later patches and come back here afterwards.

systemd-sysupdate will fail if the OS image does not fit in the partitions that the installer created. Therefor, the partitions need to be very large so that there is plenty of room for the OS to grow. Furthermore, systemd-sysupdate requires both A and B copies of both the root and verity partitions.

mkfs.ext4 is not able to produce images with files large enough to hold both the primary and backup copy of the root partition [1]. Reducing the sizes of partitions to be little greater than the size of the root filesystem image does not help. The produced file is still too large. Therefore, compress the image, which causes it to be small enough that mkfs.ext4 can handle it.

This breaks the option to use the installer as a live image. Therefore, remove it. This option will return once Spectrum switches to the GNOME OS installer [2]. However, it is still possible to build a live image that is separate from the installer. Document how to build and use it.

GRUB2 does support compressed loopback images, but these presumably buffer the whole image in memory. Since the entire installer will be replaced, making it work is not considered worthwhile.

I don't love proliferating config parameters… Given this is likely going to be best set to 9 for any non-development image builds, and 1 will mostly only be desirable for people working on the image (and CI, I suppose, but it should really be testing the settings used on the real image), those people working on the image could adjust the gzip parameters when doing so. At the very least, 9 should be the default. Upstream-produced images should use the default settings so they're easy to reproduce (when they are actually reproducible.)

Unfortunately, release/installer is broken and is even in main.

Can you tell me how to reproduce? With $(nix-build release/installer/run-vm.nix) I can run through the installer just fine…

systemd-sysupdate has strict requirements on the partition layout: - The label of the active partition must match the template in the .transfer file. For instance, the root filesystem of Spectrum 0.0.0 must be in a partition with label "Spectrum_0.0.0", and the verity partition must have the label "Spectrum_0.0.0.verity". - The label of the inactive partition must be that of the old version of Spectrum, or "_empty" for freshly installed systems. - The partition type UUID must conform to the Discoverable Partition Specification. Also, the UKI must have a name that includes the OS version. Otherwise, it will not be deleted during updates. Since the partition label includes the OS version, add an OS version number. Use 0.0.0 to indicate that Spectrum OS is still in very early development and should not be used. The version number can be overridden in the build configuration file.

systemd-sysupdate never writes to the running OS partition. Instead, it requires a separate partition to write the update into. Create a separate partition for that purpose. systemd-sysupdate will fail if the OS image does not fit in the partitions that the installer created. Therefor, make the partitions very large so that there is plenty of room for the OS to grow. This requires rewriting the code that calculates the partition sizes.

Include a new `spectrum-update` command to update the system. This tells the new sys.appvm-systemd-sysupdate VM to download the updates into a staging directory using systemd-sysupdate. The host then runs systemd-sysupdate to apply the updates itself. sys.appvm-systemd-sysupdate uses host-provided information to fetch the update. This allows editing files on the host to change the update URL and signing key. Updates require /boot to be mounted so that systemd-sysupdate can update the unified kernel image. They also require that /tmp is writable so that they can store temporary files, so put a tmpfs there. Furthermore, there needs to be a directory for storing downloaded updates. Create /home so that users can mount their persistent data there. The directory the VM downloads updates into is *not* reset (wiped) before or after the update. This allows the VM to know if the system is already up to date. Otherwise, it would redownload the entire multi-gigabyte update image. Updates are currently not compressed. This should be changed in the future, but it would add a small amount of additional complexity. In particular, the script generating the update directory would need to generate a SHA256SUMS containing the hash of both the compressed and uncompressed versions. More importantly, the VM must not be able to make the host use the compressed version. This would be a potential security risk because decompression happens before signature verification. GnuPG currently decompresses signatures, but in the future it will be replaced by Sequoia which does not.

Replace it with comments in the script. The awk script in the VM rejects URLs that contain whitespace. This is because they can't work, and passing them to systemd-sysupdate would require figuring out how to escape them.
