Armbian builds are stable again 🎉
We broke them up a bit and things are doing well for the time being 😁 -

*sigh*
The armbian build just failed after a couple hours of runtime.
Time to let the backups finish and re-run at a later point.
The good news is that the current armbian builds are actually current with the upstream project. This is us being judicious and ensuring that what we have is 100% post-network-cable-swap -

5 of 14 armbian builds have completed.
🤞 this re-stabilized internet lets the remaining 9 finish while we're away from our keyboards. -

❗
We've sorted out the Plume build failures and will be submitting a PR.
If/when it's accepted we'll re-run our builds so you've got the latest version ready to go. -

📣 Rasbian Downloads 📣
We've also cleaned up our raspbian download area to have an attic folder.
We figured we may as well go all-in on pruning the main download folders while we were poking at rclone and uploads and sync... -

📣 Download Site Update 📣
We've cleaned up our download site a little bit so it's easier to find the latest builds of Armbian.
There is currently a bug in the file browser plugin we use but at some point there will be an "attic" folder for older builds.
For now you can add /attic to the end of the URL for the serial and hdmi Armbian folders to manually view the older builds. -

Are you a rust dev? Do you know one?
Got some spare time to hack on an OSS project?
We'd ❤️ it if someone was willing to poke at https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/issues/262 and get it sorted...
The dev of bitwarden_rs solved the compile time bug on aarch64 but it comes at the expense of Yubikey support. -

We no longer need AWS for x86-64 stuff!
The HP workstation we received is working and once a small disk upgrade is complete it will take over our build needs for anything based on x86-64 architecture.
Our AWS x86-64 infra has been REMOVED and our x86-64 based builds will resume shortly.
We are about 5 days away from the next scheduled builds and we felt it best to make the change sooner than later.
We'll be initiating builds ahead of schedule once the new box is 100% online after the coming upgrade.
We will also be updating our transparency report as well as publishing a blog post with more detail after the builds come back online.

Today we discovered Amsterdam.
It's a markdown file migration tool written by the Plume devs. We worked with them to build a simple Docker container for running the tool which is also super small.
We're going to be setting up builds of this tool shortly. It'll be build for arm32v7, arm64v8 and x86-64 and pushed to our registry.
We've finished up our tests but a few other items are in the queue ahead of setting up the builds. -

shortly after our blog post about EC2 and x86-64 went live a community member got in touch with us to donate a Xeon W3550 hp workstation with 24GB RAM, 2x msata disks, 2x 2TB disks and a 500GB m.2 disk.
Its older by most standards but should be able to replace *all* of our x86-64 infrastructure with room to grow.
we will be vetting the hardware and shuffling our *build* infrastructure accordingly.
we are here to provide others with options and this will help dramatically with everything that requires x86-64 hardware

Our Jenkins instance was incredibly backed up with jobs....
We are looking into it and will be restarting them after we finish some upgrades and shuffling of our build boxes.
We have some USB SSDs to deploy and other tweaks that should help speed everything up a bit.
We will also be publishing our plume and pixelfed build scripts and integrating them into our build infrastructure. The plan is to build both from the main sources on a weekly basis.
We will report back once things are situated. -

We are moving our build boxes to the Samsung T5 USB SSD series disks. This is purely for performance reasons. As we grow we need our builds to complete faster.
The recommended disk is still the Sandisk Cruiser Fit and similar from Sansisk for self hosted lollipops.
Unless you need speed, the Samsung disks don't have good ROI compared. -

Over the course of the last week we've been hard at work building Plume and Pixelfed inside Docker.
We also have been trying to figure out why USB seems to be acting up on our build lollipops.
The bad news is we still have no idea what's happening with USB.
The good news is that we have WORKING Plume and Pixelfed builds. They are being published to our Docker registry and you can see what's available at https://docker.lollipopcloud.solutions/ via our front end (registry.lollipopcloud.solutions is the URL to use with docker pull and similar tools).
We have a few more builds in our pipeline for Plume and Pixelfed to get them current / on the latest sources. They should come online for your use in the next ~12-24 hours.
If you're using a Raspberry Pi 3b or 3b+ you'll want to use the arm32v7 images on Rasbian and/or Rasbian Lite. If you're on an arm VPS from Amazon AWS or Scaleway you'll want to use the arm64v8 images.
We have some major documentation gaps for both Pixelfed and Plume which will be addressed in due time. We've been putting our main focus on getting these builds complete so others can benefit and hopefully help us a little with the documentation 😉
We will also be posting our build scripts on our Gitea instance once they are cleaned up some and working with our continuous integration setup.
As a parting note, we'd like to thank @Bat @a000d4f7a91939d0e71df1646d7a48 @dansup for all their help, support and more.
It's been an intense week, we'll be publishing updates as we work through the next round of items on our to do lists. -

Why?
We will be deploying a Plume instance that will mirror our blog posts so the wonderful people here can give us feedback directly and more. It'll also allow our core team a platform for posts related to 🍭 ☁️
@ambassador has expressed interest in deploying an instance of Pixelfed on a Scaleway arm VPS with 4Gb ram as a way of showing support for our project and Pixelfed.
Our goal is to improve self-hosting options as well as accessibility in tech. These are just 2 of the really cool things we're excited to see.

Our little arm32 lollipop build is back online!
We're currently building @pixelfed for arm32v7 boards.
Once done we'll report back.
This docker build is what you'll want if deploying pixelfed on a raspberry pi 3b or raspberry pi 3b+ on rasbian or rasbian lite.

As soon as our arm32 build box is back online (should be 8-10 hours depending on availability of the human who can reboot it) we'll also be publishing @pixelfed images for arm32v7.
If you're running a raspberry pi 3b or 3b+ with Rasbian or Rasbian Lite you'll need the arm32v7 image.
We won't be deploying documentation at this time but if you're willing to deploy docker and fiddle a little you'll be able to use our Pixelfed Docker images.
🤗
We have a note to get docs going but at the moment our spare time is a bit low and running the builds + integrating them into our build processes is going to soak up what time we have currently. -

In honor of Instagram's latest maneuver we are starting a Docker build of @pixelfed for arm64v8 using their php-fpm Dockerfile.
We've tested basic builds already and with today's news it's time to push something to the repos. We are going to be running the builds by hand for a bit but if you have an arm64 board and want to self-host this should help a little. -

we are going to take a moment to bow down before @jmf
without their input, eye for accessibility and writing skills we wouldnt have a project.
their tireless dedication to documentation and accessibility is amazing and deserves more credit than we can put in words.
