Or
systemd-ifying postmarketOS, our immutable future, and why Alpine is cooler than you thought (asg2024)
postmarketOS was started with the lofty goal of enabling long term support for
mobile phones and other devices with traditionally short lifespans, and doing so
outside of the Android walled garden. This has inevitably resulted in a lot of
upstream focused hardware bringup and development. Join us and learn what
our community have been building, how we're running systemd on Alpine Linux
and what we see in the future for postmarketOS.
Through community driven efforts and collaboration, postmarketOS has grown into
a highly adaptable platform which runs on anything from smartwatches and TVs to
phones and laptops.
In this talk, Caleb and Clayton discuss how our unique approach to tooling and
package management have allowed such a small community to scale up to support
hundreds of devices with more than 5 different bootloaders, over a dozen user
interfaces, and now two init systems.
They will cover:
* A rough overview of the distro architecture
* How device abstractions work in postmarketOS
* Pmbootstrap and apk for fast developer iteration at a low cost
* Systemd bootstrapping and current status
* Our plan for an immutable postmarketOS (and request for feedback)
