enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 5 93902ff60e feat(packaging/bazzite): the sysext feed is signed, and the client refuses one that isn't
`punktfunk-sysext` checked the SHA256 of every image it downloaded, which sounds
like verification but isn't: SHA256SUMS lives on the same registry as the images
it describes, so anything able to replace an image could replace its checksum in
the same request. The checksum only ever proved the download wasn't corrupted.

Each feed now carries SHA256SUMS.asc, a detached OpenPGP signature over the
manifest, and the client verifies it before believing a line of it. The key is
packages@unom.io (AF245C506F4E4763) — the same one that already signs our RPMs,
so boxes have one key to trust and we have one key to rotate. Its public half is
baked into the script rather than fetched from the feed, because a key you fetch
from the thing you're authenticating authenticates nothing; gpg (present on
Bazzite) does the verifying against a throwaway keyring holding only that key, so
"good signature" and "signed by us" are the same statement.

Rollout: stable feeds only publish on a tag, so a `--seal` mode re-signs an
existing manifest without rebuilding an image, and every rpm.yml run seals the
OTHER channel of its Fedora major too. Canary pushes are frequent, so all live
feeds seal within a day of this landing and a key rotation propagates without
republishing anything. Until a feed is sealed the client refuses it and says so,
naming PUNKTFUNK_SYSEXT_ALLOW_UNSIGNED=1 as the informed way through.

Two things testing changed. The baked-key fingerprint check compared against an
empty string — the armor block is a single-quoted shell literal, so the extracted
range carried `FEED_KEY='` on its first line and gpg saw no armor at all; every
publish would have "mismatched" and, on a tag, failed the release. And `status`
captured fetch_manifest's stderr but only printed it on failure, swallowing the
ALLOW_UNSIGNED warning precisely when someone was running unverified.

Verified end to end on Bazzite 44 against a file:// feed with a throwaway key:
unsigned feed refused; ALLOW_UNSIGNED=1 proceeds and says so; wrong signer
rejected; tampered manifest rejected; good signature accepted; `update` exits 1
before touching anything on a bad feed. Publisher side: signs when the baked key
matches, refuses on mismatch, refuses with no key, and its signature round-trips
through the real client. shellcheck clean.

# punktfunk-host — RPM (Bazzite / Fedora Atomic) via the Gitea registry
`punktfunk-host` is published as an RPM to **Gitea's RPM package registry** in the public `unom`
org (stable groups `bazzite`/`fedora-44`, canary groups `bazzite-canary`/`fedora-44-canary`), so
Bazzite / Fedora Atomic hosts layer and update it with `rpm-ostree`. CI (`.gitea/workflows/rpm.yml`)
builds and publishes on every push to `main` (a rolling `<next-minor>-0.ciN.g<sha>` build — the base
is derived from the latest stable tag by `scripts/ci/pf-version.sh` — to the `*-canary`
groups) and on `vX.Y.Z` tags (a clean `X.Y.Z-1` to the base groups, plus attached to the unified
Gitea Release) — separate repos, so a stable box never jumps to a canary build (see
[Release Channels](https://punktfunk.unom.io/docs/channels)). The `baseurl` below subscribes to the
`bazzite` stable group; use `bazzite-canary` for the latest main builds. The RPM is built in the
Fedora 43 image (`ci/fedora-rpm.Dockerfile`) so its auto-generated library Requires
(`libavcodec.so.NN`, …) match Bazzite's sonames; the NVIDIA driver lib (`libcuda.so.1`) is
excluded — NVENC/EGL come from whatever NVIDIA stack the host runs (a weak Recommends).
This is the same package as the [COPR](../copr/README.md) / [bootc](../bootc/Containerfile)
paths — same spec (`punktfunk.spec`) — just self-hosted in Gitea instead of COPR, mirroring the
[Debian/apt](../debian/README.md) setup.
## Install on a Bazzite host (one-time)
```sh
# Add the repo. Packages are GPG-signed (gpgcheck=1, the packages@unom.io key) AND the repo
# metadata is Gitea-signed (repo_gpgcheck=1); gpgkey lists both so dnf/rpm-ostree imports each.
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/punktfunk.repo >/dev/null <<'REPO'
[gitea-unom-bazzite]
name=punktfunk (unom, Bazzite)
baseurl=https://git.unom.io/api/packages/unom/rpm/bazzite
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1

REPO
# Layer the host + the web console (pairing/status), then reboot into the new deployment.
# (punktfunk Recommends punktfunk-web; list it explicitly so it's pulled regardless of weak-dep
# settings. The registry carries punktfunk-web because CI builds the spec --with web; COPR can't.)
rpm-ostree install punktfunk punktfunk-web
systemctl reboot
```
> If `rpm-ostree` can't complete the metadata GPG check non-interactively, set `repo_gpgcheck=0`
> (TLS-only trust to the self-hosted registry).
## Per-package signing (`gpgcheck=1`, active)
CI GPG-signs every RPM: `packaging/rpm/sign-rpms.sh` (run from `rpm.yml` between build and publish)
signs with the dedicated EdDSA key **`packages@unom.io`** (`AF245C506F4E4763`) and self-verifies
with `rpmkeys --checksig` before publishing, so an unsigned/bad build never reaches the registry.
The public key is served from the registry (the `gpgkey=` URL above) and committed at
`packaging/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY-punktfunk`. (This is a GPG/OpenPGP key — a `step-ca`/X.509 cert can't
sign RPMs; step-ca is only for registry/console TLS.)
> `RPM_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY` is an **org-level** secret on `unom`, not a repo secret — it will not show
> up under this repository's Actions secrets. Verify it end to end instead of by its absence there:
> `curl -O <repo-url>/package/punktfunk-web/<ver>/x86_64/…rpm && rpm -qp --qf '%{RSAHEADER:pgpsig}\n'`
> (or `rpmkeys --checksig`, which reports `NOKEY` until you import the public key — `NOKEY` still
> means *signed*, just by a key that box doesn't have yet).
On a `v*` tag build, a missing key **fails** the build: `sign-rpms.sh` will not publish unsigned
RPMs into a repo whose own instructions say `gpgcheck=1`, because every user's `dnf upgrade` would
then break on them. Non-release builds still fall through unsigned so forks and local builds work.
How it was set up (and how to rotate the key):
```sh
# 1. Generate a DEDICATED, passphrase-less signing key (separate from the Gitea metadata key).
gpg --batch --gen-key <<EOF
%no-protection
Key-Type: eddsa
Key-Curve: ed25519
Name-Real: punktfunk packages
Name-Email: packages@unom.io
Expire-Date: 0
%commit
EOF
gpg --armor --export-secret-keys packages@unom.io # -> the RPM_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY CI secret
gpg --armor --export packages@unom.io > packaging/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY-punktfunk # public half
# 2. Add the armored PRIVATE key as the RPM_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY Gitea Actions secret, at the ORG level
# (git.unom.io/org/unom/settings/actions/secrets) so every repo's workflows inherit it. Commit
# the public half and publish it to the registry so the gpgkey= URL resolves:
curl --user "<user>:<write:package-PAT>" --upload-file packaging/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY-punktfunk \
https://git.unom.io/api/packages/unom/generic/punktfunk-keys/1/RPM-GPG-KEY-punktfunk
```
Rotating the key means a new generic-registry version (bump `punktfunk-keys/1``/2` and the
`gpgkey=` URL), since the registry rejects re-uploading an existing file.
**This key also signs the Bazzite sysext feed**, and a third copy of its public half is baked into
`packaging/bazzite/punktfunk-sysext.sh` (`FEED_KEY=`) — that script is bootstrapped by `curl` on
machines that have nothing installed yet, so it can't fetch the key from the thing it's
authenticating. A rotation must update **all three**: the CI secret, this directory's
`RPM-GPG-KEY-punktfunk` (+ its registry upload), and `FEED_KEY`. `publish-sysext-feed.sh` compares
its signing key's fingerprint against `FEED_KEY` and refuses to sign on a mismatch, so forgetting
the third one fails the publish instead of stranding every Bazzite box in front of a feed it
can't verify.
After reboot, as the desktop user:
```sh
ujust add-user-to-input-group # virtual gamepads need /dev/uinput (re-login).
# Bazzite is atomic — use ujust, NOT `usermod -aG input`.
mkdir -p ~/.config/punktfunk
cp /usr/share/punktfunk/host.env.bazzite ~/.config/punktfunk/host.env # gamescope defaults
systemctl --user enable --now punktfunk-host
# Web console — enable it and read the auto-generated login password (then open https://<host-ip>:47992):
systemctl --user enable --now punktfunk-web
journalctl --user -u punktfunk-web-init | sed -n 's/.*password generated: //p'
```
(See [`../bazzite/README.md`](../bazzite/README.md) for the full appliance walkthrough —
udev/group, `host.env`, the Steam session unit, firewall, verify.)
## Updates
```sh
rpm-ostree upgrade # pulls the newest punktfunk with the system update
systemctl reboot # rpm-ostree changes apply on reboot
```
Layered packages are re-resolved against their repos on every `rpm-ostree upgrade`, so the box
tracks new builds automatically (Bazzite's auto-update timer does this for you). To pin or stop
tracking: `rpm-ostree override` / `rpm-ostree uninstall punktfunk`.
## Build an RPM locally
```sh
PF_VERSION=0.0.1 bash packaging/rpm/build-rpm.sh # host + client
PF_VERSION=0.0.1 PF_WITH_WEB=1 bash packaging/rpm/build-rpm.sh # + punktfunk-web (needs bun on PATH)
# -> dist/punktfunk-0.0.1-1.fcNN.x86_64.rpm (+ punktfunk-web-0.0.1-1.fcNN.x86_64.rpm with PF_WITH_WEB=1;
# the web subpackage vendors a bun binary, so it's arch-specific, not noarch)
```
Run it inside the Fedora 43 builder image so the deps resolve and match Bazzite:
```sh
docker build -f ci/fedora-rpm.Dockerfile -t punktfunk-fedora-rpm ci
docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/src" -w /src punktfunk-fedora-rpm \
bash -lc 'git config --global --add safe.directory /src && PF_VERSION=0.0.1 bash packaging/rpm/build-rpm.sh'
```
A plain `rpmbuild`/COPR build with no `pf_version`/`pf_release` defines produces `0.3.0-1` (the
spec defaults).
### aarch64 — the client RPM
The **client** builds for aarch64; the **host** does not (its encode stack is NVENC/QSV/AMF, all
x86). `PF_WITHOUT_HOST=1` drops the host binary, the tray, the headless-session data, the
firewalld services and the main package's `%files`, leaving exactly one RPM: `punktfunk-client`.
Omitting the main `%files` is what keeps rpm from emitting an empty `punktfunk` next to it.
This is **not** a cross-compile — `%build` runs cargo for the host architecture, so run it on an
arm64 machine (or an emulated arm64 container, which is very slow):
```sh
docker build --platform linux/arm64 -f ci/fedora-rpm.Dockerfile -t punktfunk-fedora-rpm-arm64 ci
docker run --rm --platform linux/arm64 -v "$PWD:/src" -w /src punktfunk-fedora-rpm-arm64 \
bash -lc 'git config --global --add safe.directory /src && \
PF_VERSION=0.0.1 PF_WITHOUT_HOST=1 bash packaging/rpm/build-rpm.sh'
# -> dist/punktfunk-client-0.0.1-1.fcNN.aarch64.rpm
```
`PF_WITHOUT_HOST=1` works on x86_64 too, if you only want the client RPM. The flag is orthogonal
to the architecture; it is just that aarch64 has no other option.
