    Just to say really impressed and wow you guys have done a lot with the documentation since I last looked.

    I was never a big fan and its been a while, but wow I have to say its really great and thanks for all your efforts.

    No script bloat and all seems really logical and much work most of been done.
     


    Good to see you on the forum as well!

  2. At August 6, 2021, 18:04 GMT -04:00 Our VPS provider had a massive data center outage impacting multiple carriers and power.  We were offline for approximately 4.5 hours...    our apt redirect service was moved to a temporary location around 3 hours into the outage.   It's since moved back.

    FYI: https://status.armbian.com provides site status info.

    Prior to this our awesome VPS provider had given us 100% uptime for 13 months :) 

  3. Okay so unfortunately not a quick fix.    

    We had some major repository issues a while back, and the tool we use to generate is broken.  See This thread for a little more context.

    Are you familiar with ansible?   the `lineinfile` module could probably clean this up quickly if you have ssh access.

    or the `copy` modules to just replace the armbian sources file

  4. Lol i got a lot of feedback about https being an undesirable default.    Major reason being those on small connections heavilly rely on caching proxies to make life better.

     

    And yes persisting protocol based on request would be ideal.  How are you at python?

    can't I

    Short answer: No.

    This cannot explained with just a few sentences.

     

    Man we really need to write the definitive sermon on this and add it to faq / documentation.     I think there might be an issue open for it somewhere

    Thanks @lanefu , I can mount UTM and see the Contents folder. However, the volume drive is mounted in read only mode, so that I can't copy u-boot.bin to the folder.
    /Volumes/UTM/UTM.app on /private/var/folders/ns/bkcwhmm106j0_scbdvv_x29c0000gn/T/AppTranslocation/7DABB818-AE48-4EBF-9012-FF45CF3B9602 (nullfs, local, nodev, nosuid, read-only, noowners, quarantine, nobrowse, mounted by User). How can I mount the folder with read-write?


    You need to install UTM rather than trying to run it from the disk image... UTM is a hypervisor.

  7. So Armbian bare-metal on M1 is really contrary to our mission... but I do hope the community can run with the work I've started with the virtual-qemu image... because virtual armbian on M1 is fun and practice.

    @lanefu awesome work and well done! What can I do with the wip file?
    I would like to try your work. Do you have any step-by-step guide to start the Armbian VM?


    the WIP file is for building with the armbian build tools...  I have some crappy tips in there for qemu.

    okay so here's a really quick n dirty 

     

    download UTM for Mac 

    Download zip and extract.  this UTM config https://armbian.lane-fu.com/virtual-qemu/Armbian UTM.zip there will be a .utm file and a u-boot.bin file

    download one of the virtual-emu images from our nightlies or try whatever is here https://armbian.lane-fu.com/virtual-qemu/. don't forget to extra xz file

     

    find utm and right click and choose show package contents(edited)

    then you'll expand and put this u-boot.bin in this subfolder

    image.png

     

    open the UTM file then clone it to a new virtual machine

     

    edit the new virtual machine

    image.png

     

    goto the drives tab

    image.png

    click that little trash can to delete the previous image

    click import drive to load the new image that you downloaded

    and make sure you set the interface to virtio

    because it will default to IDE

    you'll need to fiddle around with display settings possibly.. the high dpi flag etc.

     

    I think I've added to default on the newer images.  make sure spice-vdagent is installed.

     

    ..  this is all I can help with for now.  You're on your own from here :) Please turn this into some better documentation if you can.

    ideally someone needs to figure out a process around this and document it
