\fBsystemd\-firstboot\fR
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:
.sp

.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c

The root user\*(Aqs password
.RE
.PP
Each of the fields may either be queried interactively from the users, set non\-interactively on the tool\*(Aqs command line, or be copied from a host system that is used to set up the system image\&.
.PP
If a setting is already initialized it will not be overwritten and the user will not be prompted for the setting\&.
.PP
Note that this tool operates directly on the file system and does not involve any running system services, unlike
\fBlocalectl\fR(1),
\fBtimedatectl\fR(1)
or
\fBhostnamectl\fR(1)\&. This allows
\fBsystemd\-firstboot\fR
to operate on mounted but not booted disk images and in early boot\&. It is not recommended to use
\fBsystemd\-firstboot\fR
on the running system while it is up\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
The following options are understood:
.PP
\fB\-\-root=\fR\fB\fIroot\fR\fR
.RS 4
Takes a directory path as an argument\&. All paths will be prefixed with the given alternate
\fIroot\fR
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\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-locale=\fR\fB\fILOCALE\fR\fR, \fB\-\-locale\-messages=\fR\fB\fILOCALE\fR\fR
.RS 4
Sets the system locale, more specifically the
\fILANG=\fR
and
\fILC_MESSAGES\fR
settings\&. The argument should be a valid locale identifier, such as
"de_DE\&.UTF\-8"\&. This controls the
\fBlocale.conf\fR(5)
configuration file\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-timezone=\fR\fB\fITIMEZONE\fR\fR
.RS 4
Sets the system time zone\&. The argument should be a valid time zone identifier, such as
"Europe/Berlin"\&. This controls the
\fBlocaltime\fR(5)
symlink\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-hostname=\fR\fB\fIHOSTNAME\fR\fR
.RS 4
Sets the system hostname\&. The argument should be a host name, compatible with DNS\&. This controls the
\fBhostname\fR(5)
configuration file\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-machine\-id=\fR\fB\fIID\fR\fR
.RS 4
Sets the system\*(Aqs machine ID\&. This controls the
\fBmachine-id\fR(5)
file\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-root\-password=\fR\fB\fIPASSWORD\fR\fR, \fB\-\-root\-password\-file=\fR\fB\fIPATH\fR\fR
.RS 4
Sets the password of the system\*(Aqs root user\&. This creates a
\fBshadow\fR(5)
file\&. This setting exists in two forms:
\fB\-\-root\-password=\fR
accepts the password to set directly on the command line,
\fB\-\-root\-password\-file=\fR
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
\fBps\fR(1)\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-prompt\-locale\fR, \fB\-\-prompt\-timezone\fR, \fB\-\-prompt\-hostname\fR, \fB\-\-prompt\-root\-password\fR
.RS 4
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\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-prompt\fR
.RS 4
Query the user for locale, timezone, hostname and root password\&. This is equivalent to specifying
\fB\-\-prompt\-locale\fR,
\fB\-\-prompt\-timezone\fR,
\fB\-\-prompt\-hostname\fR,
\fB\-\-prompt\-root\-password\fR
in combination\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-copy\-locale\fR, \fB\-\-copy\-timezone\fR, \fB\-\-copy\-root\-password\fR
.RS 4
Copy a specific basic setting from the host\&. This only works in combination with
\fB\-\-root=\fR
(see above)\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-copy\fR
.RS 4
Copy locale, time zone and root password from the host\&. This is equivalent to specifying
\fB\-\-copy\-locale\fR,
\fB\-\-copy\-timezone\fR,
\fB\-\-copy\-root\-password\fR
in combination\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-setup\-machine\-id\fR
.RS 4
Initialize the system\*(Aqs machine ID to a random ID\&. This only works in combination with
\fB\-\-root=\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
.RS 4
Print a short help text and exit\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-version\fR
.RS 4
Print a short version string and exit\&.
.RE
.SH "EXIT STATUS"
.PP
On success, 0 is returned, a non\-zero failure code otherwise\&.
