SSH Config
When postmarketOS is reinstalled, a new ssh host key will be generated. Your SSH client will detect this, and refuse to connect, requiring you to run ssh-keygen -R 172.16.42.1
each time a new host key is generated.
To disable this check, and to allow you to connect by running ssh postmarketos
, add the following to your ~/.ssh/config
:
Host postmarketos HostName 172.16.42.1 StrictHostKeyChecking no UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null
Warning: Ignoring host keys could leave you vulnerable to a Man-in-the-middle attack |
Misc
- The splash screen is highly configurable (scroll down for an example)!
- Browse the Linux source with links to all references here
- Qualcomm and maybe some other Androids can simply reboot from postmarketOS (or any Linux distro) into your bootloader or recovery with
reboot -f bootloader
andreboot -f recovery
- Battery capacity can be monitored to trigger low battery actions. See Battery capacity monitoring for more information.
