Jorijn van der Graaf 40ccc12a18 install.sh: self-answering credentials - zero sudo prompts
ssh ControlMaster keeps one authenticated connection (login typed at
most once, or never with sshpass installed); sudo answers itself via a
SUDO_ASKPASS helper carrying the image's public default password (sudo
-S would have eaten the boot image's first bytes from stdin). Helper
lives on tmpfs and evaporates with the install reboot.

# fp6-img
Flashable [postmarketOS](https://postmarketos.org/) images for the
**Fairphone 6**, built nightly from the
[Catcrafts milos-linux](https://forgejo.catcrafts.net/Catcrafts/milos-linux)
`combined-stable` kernel branch, with
[imsd](https://forgejo.catcrafts.net/Catcrafts/imsd) (userspace VoLTE)
preinstalled.

## What works
Everything on the `combined-stable` branch: display, touch, wifi, cellular
data, NFC (reader), speaker audio, microphone, IMU, magnetometer, barometer,
ambient light/proximity — plus VoLTE calls (both directions) through imsd.
Verified on exactly one device / one carrier (KPN NL). Reports from other
carriers are very welcome.
## Flashing
Download `boot.img` and `fairphone-fp6.img` from the latest release and unlock
the bootloader ([Fairphone's official process](https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/10492476238737)).
**Recommended — modem-preserving install**: with the phone in fastboot mode,
run [`install.sh`](install.sh) (also attached to every release) from the
directory holding the two images:
```sh
sh install.sh
```
It erases dtbo, flashes the rootfs, **RAM-boots** the kernel (`fastboot
boot` — verified to write nothing), writes the boot partition from inside
Linux where the bootloader's NV-wipe cannot see it, then reads the modem NV
back and reports the result. The bootloader never writes `boot`.
Default login: `user` / `147147` (same as official postmarketOS images —
change it). **Never re-lock the bootloader** with a custom image installed.
## VoLTE configuration
imsd is installed but needs your carrier's P-CSCF address:
```sh
# /etc/imsd.env
PCSCF=<your carrier's P-CSCF IPv6 address>
```
Find it in a stock-firmware capture or your carrier's IMS documentation, then
`systemctl restart imsd` (the service is enabled at boot and waits for this
file to exist). See the
[imsd README](https://forgejo.catcrafts.net/Catcrafts/imsd) for the full
variable reference and carrier assumptions.
## How it builds
`build.sh` drives [pmbootstrap](https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap)
with the `aports/` overlay in this repository:
- `device/linux-postmarketos-qcom-milos` — the pmaports kernel aport,
repointed at `combined-stable` with the exact kernel config the development FP6 runs.
- `modem/imsd` — imsd, packaged from source. Its `provides=81voltd` keeps the
conflicting modem-firmware IMS helper off the image (two IMS stacks cannot
share one PDN).
- `main/postmarketos-config-nftables` — adds the `-imsd` subpackage accepting
imsd's IPsec-protected SIP ports on the IMS PDN (auto-installed alongside
imsd).
