Nitrux Update Tool System
NUTS is the update and rollback utility for Nitrux. It performs atomic system updates while preserving the ability to restore the previous state.
How it Works
- Creates a backup of the root partition using xfsdump.
- Downloads an OTA-style archive and applies the update atomically.
- Rollbacks are performed offline from a Live session using xfsrestore.
NUTS operates on the root filesystem as a whole rather than managing individual packages. It has no package index, cache, or dependency resolution—it replaces the immutable root with a new version.
Usage
Launch NUTS from the applications menu, and select either Update or Rescue.
Configuration
NUTS reads settings from /etc/nuts-cpp.conf.
Information
Starting with Nitrux 6.0.0, the Nitrux Update Tool System is a graphical program (nuts-cpp replaces nuts), and there are no longer any command-line arguments. All operations use the GUI.
