#armbian — Public Fediverse posts

Are there already some exploits in the wild for the recent Linux Kernel vulnerabilities?
Background is that I have a device here running #armbian which likely uses something @corbet calls a #Frankenkernel which calls itself 6.18.44-current-rockchip64 while mainline is already at 6.18.60 :(

Снова не удержался.

Попалась на интернет барахолке #Android TV приставка на Amlogic S805 с крайне плачевными характеристиками, но всего за 7.5$ кто я такой, чтоб отказываться от покупки? То, что нужно для экспериментов без угрызений совести.

И это невероятно, но @armbian поддерживает это железо до сих пор, отдельное спасибо за их #armbian imager. Конечно, без правок конфигурации загрузки всё не запускалось, но железо старое и чудо, что я не один, кто его до сих пор мучает.

#linux #arm

🚀 Armbian Imager v2.5 is out!

Headless setup made easier! Configure networking, users, SSH keys, language and time zone before flashing, with instant validation to catch mistakes early.

Safer flashing, better errors, new Settings page, and 🇬🇷 Greek & 🇷🇸 Serbian support (20 languages!).

Free & open source for Linux, macOS and Windows.

Armbian x Eltay RM66

В статье рассказываю о своём проекте по портированию Armbian на российский компьютерный модуль Eltay RM66 на базе Rockchip RK3566. Начну с краткого напоминания о том, зачем железу нужна ОС, почему я выбрал именно Armbian. Если тема заинтересует, в следующей статье разберу техническую сторону портирования, Device Tree, загрузчики и интеграцию в Open Source.

Will PHP-8.3.36 packages for Armbian (debian13, arm64) ever created from sury ?
I doubt whether I can go back to 8.3.35 because one package for 8.3.36 is already installed (because of no architecture but "all"), An upgrade of my nextcloud with nextcloudpi is not possible in my current setup - i run PHP 8.4.27 for which packages are available. An upgrade of nextcloud would be possible only if I go back to 8.3.35.
My nextcloud instance is not connected to the internet, so the risk is very low of getting hacked. So theoretically I could switch back to 8.3.35

Armbian Pakete von https://packages.sury.org/php sind vorhanden - soeben installiert auf meinem Nextcloud SBC und php8.3-fpm neu gestartet.

Armbian for Amlogic, Rockchip, and Allwinner devices brings Linux to a wide range of TV boxes, including models without official support.

Replace Android TV with Armbian and use your device as a small server, with Docker support, kernel updates, eMMC/SD/USB storage, and backup tools.

⚠️ This is an independent Armbian-based project, not the official Armbian repository.

If you don’t know what I am doing, literally I am making the images for p212 Amlogic ARM board, which exists on some TV boxes outside there, especially FiberHome HG860P that uses p212 development board.

Since I am bored with Armbian, I want to port it into Arch Linux ARM (which I am doing it today) and openSUSE Tumbleweed (planned to do).

@ben @drscream @armbian I didn't personally consider #armbian integration for #MNT devices, no. My own goal is to make the MNT Debian package repository obsolete. It should be possible to install vanilla Debian on MNT laptops just as one would install Debian on any other machine. That's why I built https://reform.debian.net where one can download a slightly patched debian-installer. That being said: I will support anybody who wants to add armbian support for MNT laptops. More diversity is good!

@ben @drscream I'm maintaining the Debian integration of the MNT flavour of Debian. I know armbian but would like to hear what benefits you think integration with it would get us? My main goal is to reduce the delta to vanilla Debian. It is already possible to run vanilla Debian (installed with Debian installer) on some platforms. What would we or our users get from #armbian integration?

@josch @drscream Have you guys ever considered adding your devices to #armbian?

Своя Linux-based ОС на Rust и QML: опыт создания Platinum OS One

Полгода назад я решил не кастомизировать очередной Armbian под конкретную плату, а собрать полноценную ОС: свой build-движок уровня Cargo, свою оболочку на QML поверх вложенного Wayland-композитора — и универсальность как главную ставку: одна система для одноплатников, планшетов и ПК. Первая плата — Orange Pi Zero 3W. В статье — архитектура, где различия между устройствами живут в данных, а не в коде движка; реальный прогон сборки образа с точными цифрами по каждой из 14 стадий; и то, что обычно не показывают в анонсах — три production-краша с разобранными причинами (SIGSEGV в движке QML, AppArmor против snap-песочницы, macOS tar , портящий Wayland-модуль) и три находки первой живой загрузки на настоящем железе.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could power on your Raspberry Pi 4, smash that Del key, poke around in the settings, and install regular old Linux?

Finding of the week: Manage your #raspberrypi from an #android phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=systems.kyth.pitool - Especially useful when running #evcc or #pihole. #armbian. #GitHub: https://github.com/KYTH-SYSTEMS/pi-tool #opensource #dart

At least the process is straighforward, get the image from https://armbian.com/boards/helios64 (thanks #armbian <3) and use gnome disks to restore it to a USB drive. That should allow me to boot on a live and see what's going on. The serial console was complaining that the emmc was corrupted, we'll see if that's actually true of if we have some kind of issue with the device tree

Testing a tiny Tor gateway I built on a €30 SBC + Armbian CLI.

Boots in 2s, no telemetry, no web UI, separate subnet. Browsers, CLI and Termux all route through Tor with no IP/DNS leaks 😎

Ping doesn’t work (good: Tor blocks ICMP). So far… it just works 🤷🏻‍♂️ speed is ok (sometimes 🤣).

I am using Nextcloud 32.0.11.1 on Armbian (bookworm based) running on bare metal - no docker. The nextcloud service HPB is down, the AI workers are disabled.
I don't care about "HPB down" because everything I need just works.

An update to trixie (successor to bookworm) is offered via the command

'sudo ncp-dist-upgrade'

I have read some bad stories about the migration from bookworm to trixe like
replaced "cron" by systemd/timed" etc.

What is the experience of other users in this environment after the update ?
Do I have to fix the "HPB down" problem prior to the update ?
DO I have to enable the 5 AI services prior to the update ?

#nextcloud #nextcloudpi #armbian #fedihelp #bookworm #trixie

Here we go again: After the last update of #armbian the #nextcloud error #HPB down appears the second time in two weeks. The only relevant update was for the #redis server. I can do almost anything except uploading files from clients, e.g. android. This time there is no error in apache2/nc_error.log
Error in nextcloud.log:

Error: Failed opening required '/var/www/nextcloud/apps/calendar/composer/../vendor/autoload.php'

The file does exist, though:
# ls -l /var/www/nextcloud/apps/calendar/composer/../vendor/autoload.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 724 Jul 22 16:23 /var/www/nextcloud/apps/calendar/composer/../vendor/autoload.php

Someone any idea for a solution ?

Heute ein Update von Armbian gemacht. Danach: SSL error wegen "certificate stapling - no longer supported" von letsencrypt. Anpassung an ssl Conf nötig. Leider nun wieder die katastrophale Fehlermeldung "HPB Service: down'.
Eine meiner liebsten Fehlermeldung. Gibt es keine Doku zu den Ursachen oder was alles klappen muss, damit der Service auf "up" stellt ?
Ich wünsche keinem Nextcloud supporter diese geniale Fehlermeldung. Nein, kein Eintrag dazu im nextcloud.log.
#nextcloud #nextcloudpi #HPB #letsencrypt #armbian

Alright lets see if I can finally put my original Orangepi Zero (with case!) to work for once.

Gonna try to use it for a sendspin client in the garage for now. Fingers crossed xradio drivers are working.

nieuwe blogpost: Thuisserver is RIP
meestal is zo’n bericht niet om lang bij stil te staan – laat staan er over treuren – de thuisserver houdt het voor gezien – het was een tragisch leven – langzaam maar zeker vielen er steeds meer functies uit – tot zelfs recent de harde schijven niet meer werden herkend – terwijl er al […]
