Booster advantages: - Fast image build time and fast boot time. - Out-of-box support for full disk encryption setup. - Clevis style data binding. The encrypted filesystem can be bound to TPM2 chip or to a network service. This helps to unlock the drive automatically but only if the TPM2/network service presents. - Systemd-cryptenroll type of binding. Booster is able to detect and unlock systemd-fido2 and systemd-tpm2 style partitions. - Supports autodiscoverable root partition - Easy to configure. - Automatic host configuration discovery. This helps to create minimalistic images specific for the current host. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 864812 [details, diff] patch to get booster working under Gentoo As Gentoo doesn't have /usr/lib symlinked to /usr/lib64 it is possible for booster to pick wrong libraries and produce a non functioning initramfs. See https://github.com/anatol/booster/issues/220
Created attachment 864813 [details, diff] Change consolefontsDir to correct path on Gentoo
Created attachment 864814 [details] Working booster ebuild I tried my best to get a working ebuild for booster. It's the first ebuild I wrote so probably needs a few changes. Mostly tried to convert the pkgbuild for Archlinux (https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/booster/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD) to Gentoo's ebuild syntax.
