rvalle

Traditionally I use LVM in our Storage in our servers, and we started doing it on the ARM64 servers too.
 
I am using this with Raspberry PIs and now with Armbian too.
 
I also use cloud-init for server customization, just like ubuntu does with the RPI image now. This is very good, as you can create users, add keys, install packages, set networking... extend partitions, all in an standard way.
 
So, the requirements for my Armbian image are, an extra vfat partition for cloud-init metadata, and the ROOT to be created with LVM instead of just ext4.
 
I managed to implement most with user extensions, except the Dockerfile that required extra packages and configurations, and also I had to patch the partitioning part of the script, in a similar way the CRYPT extension does, as the root filesystem will come from mapper and not from the root device, this is not possible to do from an extension.
 
I have it working for the HC4 in the master branch. I want to port it to the M1 and possibly XU4.
 

Ok some images are up for testing.
Both HKs' 4.19 and tobetter's 5.18-rcX were updated. Maybe something is fixed. Tobetter commits signal support for PCIe.

EDIT: old images removed. Look for later posts for newer ones
 
unzstd them, burn to SD, insert SD, power on. 
recommend to use UART
