This will be done by trying to modify the existing RK808 driver. +RK818 support should then make it possible to access a lot more of the devices, e.g. allowing to enable the screen, USB peripherals or WiFi. + +Additional feedback and testers are welcome. + +Sponsor: Honeyguide Group diff --git a/website/content/en/status/report-2024-07-2024-09/pot.adoc b/website/content/en/status/report-2024-07-2024-09/pot.adoc new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..43e02f0d25 --- /dev/null +++ b/website/content/en/status/report-2024-07-2024-09/pot.adoc @@ -0,0 +1,23 @@ +=== Containers and FreeBSD: Pot, Potluck and Potman + +Links: + +link:https://github.com/bsdpot[Pot organization on GitHub] URL: link:https://github.com/bsdpot[] + +Contact: Luca Pizzamiglio (Pot) + +Contact: Bretton Vine (Potluck) + +Contact: Michael Gmelin (Potman) + +Pot is a jail management tool that link:https://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2020-01-2020-03/#pot-and-the-nomad-pot-driver[also supports orchestration through Nomad]. +Potluck aims to be to FreeBSD and Pot (and potentially one day also Podman) what Dockerhub is to Linux and Docker: a repository of container descriptions and complete container images for usage with Pot and in many cases Nomad. + +During this quarter, there were two bugfixes to link:https://github.com/bsdpot/pot[Pot] that will be released soon. + +Potluck images saw some updates again. +All images have been rebuilt again to include the latest fixes and quarterly packages.
