#postmarketOS v25.06 is in the pipeline and you can help us out with two things:

* Which wallpaper shall we choose? Can you help us once again dear Fediverse?  

* Test it on your favorite devices and report back if you run into any issues! See https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/3754 and postmarketos-testing @ https://postmarketos.org/chat for details.

Thanks to Dikasp for making these awesome wallpapers! Poll is in the comments.

Happy pride month ya'll!

@postmarketOS is it possible to donate spare hardware (eg. extra phones)?
Show threadpabloyoyoistaJul 1
@Logical_Error @postmarketOS we surely can coordinate that once we have a finished system

@pabloyoyoista @Logical_Error @postmarketOS

donating to folks who want to run a farm definitely sounds like a good idea, but it also should ** be easy for you to spin up your own farm with the harness and a raspberry pi or something

i think the gateway can run in a privileged docker container, we should look into making postmarketOS images that come with everything set up so you can just boot up, register your gitlab token and be good to go

@cas @Logical_Error @postmarketOS that container is part of the plan, yes :D Just missing some things on CI-tron infra for it to be trivial to creat

@cas @pabloyoyoista @Logical_Error @postmarketOS No need for postmarketOS-specific images, but when I'm done you could host a netboot server for gateways that allow users to build a boot image for their gateway (just a bootloader to flash on a pendrive, ipxe-based), and pre-configure the gateway with SSH and wireguard keys, setup the boot cmdline/kernel/initrds, WiFi passphrase, and why not the gitlab instance and gitlab token.

Additionally, this server would also act as a backup and monitoring service for both the DUTs and gateway.

The reason why we generate per-farm boot images is because we use client certificates as identification and access control to the boot config. So you can keep your boot config secret.

Sounds fun, right?
