Hi there,
I know this is a feature a lot of you have been waiting for since the beginnings of Mobian.
I'm therefore extremely pleased to announce that we've started work on it, with an on-device installer allowing you to select a passphrase and install Mobian to an encrypted partition.
This was adapted from pmOS's installer, so they definitely deserve most credit for that
As of today the installer works fine and can be downloaded here.
Only known issue so far is the flickering backlight on BraveHeart devices.
Please note the system will be installed to the device the installer is flashed on: if you flash the installer to an SD card, then Mobian will be installed on the same SD; if you flash it to the internal eMMC, Mobian will be installed on the eMMC. Allowing target device selection is on the TODO list, but it might be some time before we implement it.
Although this has been thoroughly tested on my devices, I'd like to have some more success (or failure) reports, so please give it a shot if you have some time to spare
Enjoy!
