Armbian OS
## What does this project do?
- Builds quarterly [stable](https://www.armbian.com/download/), daily [rolling](https://github.com/armbian/os/releases/latest) and weekly [community](https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/latest) Armbian OS images
- Keeps build framework [packages artifacts](https://github.com/orgs/armbian/packages) cache up to date to secure fast rebuild process
- Keeps stable [apt.armbian.com](https://apt.armbian.com) and nightly [beta.armbian.com](https://beta.armbian.com) packages repository up to date
- Keep synchronizing the selection of [3rd party](external) applications with Armbian repositories
- Reversion Firefox, Thunderbird and Chromium to higher (9) epoch version then its Snapd counterparts (1)
- Tests install of all packages added onto stable and testing Debian and Ubuntu releases
- Tests packages upgrade sucess on real hardware
- Tests build [supported and community supported desktops](https://github.com/armbian/os/actions/workflows/full-distro-build-and-test.yml)
## How to enable images?
Build lists are generated [automatically](https://github.com/armbian/os/blob/main/.github/workflows/recreate-matrix.yml#L59-L211C94) based on [support policy](https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Board-Support-Rules/) and with help of [templates](userpatches/), .blacklist and .map files.
## How to add description to download pages?
Each kernel branch can have additional description which is stoed in [kernel-description.json](kernel-description.json) and automatically updated upon changes.
## When is this happening?
- Artifacts cache is updated every eight hours, starting at 0:00 AM UTC
- Repository update starts after artifacts cache update is done succesfully
- Smoke tests starts once per day at 5:30 AM UTC
- Nightly images are build once per day, at 2:00 AM UTC, or if [build config / template is changed](https://github.com/armbian/os/blob/main/userpatches/targets-release-nightly.yaml)
- Manually, when Armbian [release manager](https://github.com/orgs/armbian/teams/release-manager) executes a build action
## Latest smoke tests results:
- installs **kernels**, **device tree blob** and **headers**
- runs **network** (iperf) and **computing performance** tests (7z benchmark)
- store **armbianmonitor** logs
