NAME

6       boom.conf — boom configuration file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /boot/boom/boom.conf
10

DESCRIPTION

12       boom.conf is loaded during the initialisation of boom and contains con‐
13       figuration keys affecting boom's global behaviour and  the  setting  of
14       boom's legacy configuration support.
15
16       The  file is structured in INI format: section headers appear in square
17       brackets and configuration values appear as key-value  pairs  with  one
18       pair per line.

SECTIONS

21       global The  global  section  contains  the boot_path and boom_path keys
22              that may be used to override the location  of  the  /boot  mount
23              point and /boot/boom configuration directory respectively.
24
25       legacy The  legacy  section  contains  settings to enable and configure
26              support for non-BLS boot loader configuration formats.
27
28              To enable legacy boot loader support set the enable key  to  yes
29              or true and set the format key to the required format (currently
30              only grub syntax is supported).
31
32              If the value of the sync key is true  the  legacy  configuration
33              will  be  automatically  written  whenever  entries  are  added,
34              removed, or modified.
35
36       cache  The cache section contains settings that control the behavior of
37              the  boom  boot  image cache. The enable key enables or disables
38              the boot image cache: if the cache is  disabled  then  the  boom
39              cache command and cache-related options such as --backup are not
40              available.
41
42              The path to the on-disk cache may  be  changed  by  setting  the
43              cache_path  key.  By default the cache is located in a subdirec‐
44              tory of /boot at /boot/boom/cache. Alternately a  separate  file
45              system may be used to contain the cache (mounted at this path or
46              another location specified in boom.conf). In this case the cache
47              file system should be configured to be mounted at the same loca‐
48              tion in all installed operating system instances.
49
50              If the auto_clean key is enabled boom will automatically  remove
51              cache entries when they are no longer used by a boom boot entry.
