# ublue-os akmods
[](https://github.com/ublue-os/akmods/actions/workflows/build-39.yml) [](https://github.com/ublue-os/akmods/actions/workflows/build-40.yml)
A layer for adding extra kernel modules to your image. Use for better hardware support and a few other features!
## How it's organized
The [`akmods` image](https://github.com/orgs/ublue-os/packages/container/package/akmods) is built and published daily. However, there's not a single image but several, given various kernel support we now provide.
The akmods package is broken out into three akmod "streams":
- `common` - any kmod installed by default in Bluefin or which was originally in main pre-39
- `extra` - primarily for kmods used in Bazzite or any others we need, but don't fit in `common`
- `nvidia` - only for the nvidia kmod and addons
- `zfs` - only for the zfs kmod and utilities
Feel free to PR more kmod build scripts into this repo!
## Features
### Overview
The `common` stream image contains related kmod packages, plus:
- `ublue-os-akmods-addons` - installs extra repos and our kmods signing key; install and import to allow SecureBoot systems to use these kmods
- `ublue-os-ucore-addons` - a slightly lighter `ublue-os-akmods-addons` for CoreOS/uCore systems
The `nvidia` stream image contains
- `ublue-os-nvidia-addons` - installs extra repos enabling our nvidia support
- [nvidia container selinux policy](https://github.com/NVIDIA/dgx-selinux/tree/master/src/nvidia-container-selinux) - uses RHEL9 policy as the closest match
- [nvidia-container-tookkit repo](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html#installing-with-yum-or-dnf) - version 1.14 (and newer) provide CDI for podman use of nvidia gpus
- `ublue-os-ucore-nvidia` - a slightly lighter `ublue-os-nvidia-addons` for CoreOS/uCore systems

## Notes
We do our best to support all current builds of Fedora, current versions of the kernel modules listed, and the latest NVIDIA driver.
**Note: NVIDIA legacy driver version 470 is no longer provided as RPMfusion has ceased updates to the package and it no longer builds with kernel 6.8 which has now released for Fedora 39. Also the `-550` extra driver version tag has been removed as the latest driver will always be included.**
The majority of the drivers are tagged with `KERNEL_TYPE-FEDORA_RELEASE`. NVIDIA drivers are bundled distinctly with tag `KERNEL_TYPE-FEDORA_RELEASE-NVIDIA_VERSION`.
| KERNEL_TYPE | FEDORA_RELEASE | TAG |
| - | - | - |
| Fedora stock kernel | 39 | `main-39` |
| | 40 | `main-40` |
| [patched for ASUS devices](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lukenukem/asus-kernel) | 39 | `asus-39`|
| | 40 | `asus-40` |
| [patched fsync](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/sentry/kernel-fsync) | 39 | `fsync-39` |
| [patched Microsoft Surface devices](https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/) | 39 | `surface-39` |
| | 40 | `surface-40` |
## Usage
To install one of these kmods, you'll need to install any of their specific dependencies (checkout the `build-prep.sh` and the specific `build-FOO.sh` script for details).
For common images, add something like this to your Containerfile, replacing `TAG` with one of the `something-FR` tags above:
COPY --from=ghcr.io/ublue-os/akmods:TAG /rpms/ /tmp/rpms
RUN find /tmp/rpms
RUN rpm-ostree install /tmp/rpms/ublue-os/ublue-os-akmods*.rpm
RUN rpm-ostree install /tmp/rpms/kmods/kmod-v4l2loopback*.rpm
For extra images, add something like this to your Containerfile, replacing `TAG` with one of the `something-FR` tags above:
COPY --from=ghcr.io/ublue-os/akmods-extra:TAG /rpms/ /tmp/rpms
RUN find /tmp/rpms
RUN rpm-ostree install /tmp/rpms/kmods/kmod-facetimehd*.rpm
For NVIDIA images, add something like this to your Containerfile, replacing `TAG` with one of the `something-FR-NVV` tags above:
COPY --from=ghcr.io/ublue-os/akmods-nvidia:TAG /rpms/ /tmp/rpms
RUN find /tmp/rpms
RUN rpm-ostree install /tmp/rpms/ublue-os/ublue-os-nvidia*.rpm
RUN rpm-ostree install /tmp/rpms/kmods/kmod-nvidia*.rpm
These examples show:
1. copying all the rpms from the respective akmods images
2. installing the respective ublue specific RPM
3. installing a kmods RPM.
## Adding kmods
If you have a kmod you want to contribute send a pull request by adding a script using [build-kmod-wl.sh](https://github.com/ublue-os/akmods/blob/main/build-kmod-wl.sh) as an example.
## Verification
These images are signed with sisgstore's [cosign](https://docs.sigstore.dev/cosign/overview/). You can verify the signature by downloading the `cosign.pub` key from this repo and running the following command, replacing `RELEASE` with either `39` or `40`:
cosign verify --key cosign.pub ghcr.io/ublue-os/akmods:RELEASE
