Library overview
The Library is where you manage the core building blocks used to create and deploy builds in OneDeploy.
You can access the Library from the main navigation menu in the OneDeploy WebApp.
What the Library contains
The Library is divided into the following sections:
Operating Systems
Operating Systems are required for all builds. They form the base of a build and must exist in the Library before a build can be created.
Drivers
Drivers are optional. They are not hard-coded into builds.
Instead, drivers are applied dynamically at deployment time, based on the hardware of the device the build is being deployed to. This ensures the correct drivers are used for each device.
Software Packages
Software Packages are optional. They are added to builds to install applications and supporting software during deployment.
How Library items are used
Once items have been added to the Library:
- Operating Systems and Software Packages become selectable components of builds
- Drivers are automatically matched and applied during deployment based on target hardware
- Builds can then be created and deployed using these Library items
Managing the Library
Within the Library section, you can:
- Add new Operating Systems, Drivers, and Software Packages
- Update existing Library items
- Remove items that are no longer required
Changes made in the Library affect what is available when creating and deploying builds.
Common questions
Do I need all Library sections to create a build?
No. An Operating System is required, but Drivers and Software Packages are optional.
Why aren’t drivers added directly to builds?
Drivers are applied dynamically during deployment so that the correct drivers are used for the specific hardware being deployed to.
Can I change Library items after creating builds?
Yes. You can add, update, or remove Library items at any time. Availability of items will affect future build creation and deployments.
