The server for the source images

DOWNLOAD_SERVER="https://danctnix.arikawa-hi.me/rootfs/archarm-on-mobile"

seems to be permanently down. It might be a good idea to use another source and/or add an option to give a cli-parameter for an image file. So it coult be downloaded from here https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/releases/tag/20230203.

Since the release of postmarketOS ondev2, I was thinking of switching to ondev2 and generate those images instead. This allows it to be installed directly on the device without having to go through the trouble of using a computer and generate the image.

Which, the way these images are generated is a super, super bad security practice (hardcoded iterations by default, can be changed) since by default, if those images are generated on, let's say, a Threadripper 3990WX (or anything that's better), it'll take a super long time to unlock the encrypted device.

That would be a good idea. Even though it means that the installer script is not usable meanwhile.

Maybe it would be easier to just set a default FDE-Password and place a script to change it after first boot. (But that seems to be bad practice, too. But I assume that people who make the effort to find this script will most likely also make the super small effort to change the FDE passphrase.)

Hi. If I may ask, what is the status? Is there any way to install ArchLinux on PinePhone with disk encryption?

on phosh the FDE password can be changed on gnome-disks program
