Hi,

In my systems, my data is encrypted on disks.

I would like to know if it is possible to have a base system using full disk encryption (fde) in a KL way.

@Thanos , if you think apt is simple and fast, you haven't seen Alpine's apk, have you?

I installed apt from pkgget, but after I use it to install some software, the system crashed.

I think maybe it is because \bin \sbin \lib aren't directory but symbol link.

If you open the pkgget script, there a lot going on, it's nota a simples apt command.

I've upgraded from the (downgraded) 6.5.5 version to 6.6.4 and the system is back to normal.
Thank you.

After upgrading to 6.6.3, cannot boot.

The boot processo stops até the

Couln't all these portable apps be static compiled so that one single binary was provided, instead of having to deal with missing dependencies?

There are even some distros where all binaries are static compiled.

Maybe this automation tool can be useful.

I managed to be able to run Gajim in EasyOS, so didn't have to run it in a Buster or FossaPup container.

There's on package that was not considered as a dependency, but that was necessary: python3-cffi-backend.

Thank you @Caramel, your suggestion solved the issue.

Hi,

An operating system can be installed as a virtual machine to be used with qemu-kvm.
But is it possible to run a kind of lxc/lxd/incus container of a different operating system through the Easy Setup frontend | EasyOS | Easy Containers app?
It would be great if this could be possible.

Now, cryptsetup is able to open the encrypted container where it could not before.
Don't know what happened, but the problem just doesn't exist anymore.

Just to add that both persistent and non-persistent containers have their place.
Maybe EasyOS could support both!
Is it just a question of disregarding that .session directory to get a volatile container?

Hi,

I've installed cryptsetup from the available packages.
In some older version of EasyOS, cryptsetup could open an encrypted partition fine.
But not in version 6.5.5.

Does anyone confirm this is a general issue?

I'd just like to have a personalized Easy with my added apps: keepassxc, micro, conky, vfu, vivaldi, dillo-plus.

Hi @LarryDC,

I didn't know about dillo-plus, great to know about it, thank you.
Didn't know about vfu file manager. What do you find great about it?
