I have openSUSE 15.2 running very nicely on an RPI4 8GB. I cheated and used Raspbian to flash the latest firmware. I wasn't sure how to flash the firmware from openSUSE.
I guess it would make sense to document that process in the wiki (eg https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi4). Anyone?
Transactional servers update their software every day and reboot as needed, without me having to pay attention. I would like to try that on a RPI4. Are there TS images for RPI4 already built in OBS or do I need to create one?
That is basically MicroOS. You can get the Tumbleweed version of it from https://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/tumbleweed/appliances/ Or, if you want, you could help with some beta testing of the 15.2 port: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Leap:/15.2:/MicroOS:/To...
Although I run some Pis on SSD drives, on some I just use the SDHC card. It strikes me that transactional updates might work very well on SDHC cards or maybe not. Does it help or hurt wear leveling on flash?
There shouldn't be much of a difference to a traditional system. In the end both download and install rpms. MicroOS 15.2 and Tumbleweed in general turn on rpm's _minimize_writes setting to avoid overwriting files that didn't change though. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, HRB 36809 (AG Nürnberg), GF: Felix Imendörffer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
