Subject: [ptxdist] building a separate initramfs
Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2025 15:59:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CABCGj3YhvUzyWMdQpkZ74tRAP6WJCbVd_4iG1snF_JE3C3-ZUQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I'm having trouble figuring out how to build an initramfs from a
second userspace set of packages.

Basically I want to run an encrypted and verified rootfs. I have a
solution for another board which uses an initramfs that sets up the
keys/root hashes and does a pivot_root. But in order to get this into
ptxdist I had to precompile all the binaries for the ramdisk and make
a custom rule to build it. I was hoping to find how others do this or
get some pointers before I go and replicate that again.

Or perhaps ptxdist has another solution already built for encrypting a
root and maintaining trust?

Best,
Sandy Patterson
