enricobuehler b8fd652cb8 fix(packaging): autoload vhci-hcd and open its attach files for the usbip Deck pad
Steam Input only adopts the virtual Steam Deck controller when it arrives as
a real USB device (raw_gadget or usbip/vhci transports); the UHID fallback
has no USB interface and Steam ignores it. On a stock host neither
precondition for usbip held: vhci-hcd isn't loaded, and its sysfs
attach/detach files are root-only while the host runs as a user service —
so every session silently fell back to UHID and 'no controller appears on
the host' (live-debugged 2026-07-08: client events all arrived, the pad
existed, Steam just refused it).

Ship both preconditions with the host packages:
 * modules-load.d/punktfunk.conf loads vhci-hcd at boot (rpm/deb/arch;
   Bazzite gets it via the RPM payload + a modprobe in the sysext
   post-merge hook)
 * a udev rule in 60-punktfunk.rules grants the input group write on
   vhci_hcd's attach/detach whenever the device appears

Verified end-to-end on a live host: usbip in-process attach, hid-steam
binds all three interfaces, 'Steam Deck' + motion evdev appear, and Steam
adopts the pad (client-mode grab + its own virtual X360 emission).

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 0.5.0-0.ciN.g<sha> build 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). 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 / bootc paths — same spec (punktfunk.spec) — just self-hosted in Gitea instead of COPR, mirroring the Debian/apt setup.

Install on a Bazzite host (one-time)

# 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
gpgkey=https://git.unom.io/api/packages/unom/rpm/repository.key

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.)

How it was set up (and how to rotate the key):

# 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. 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.

After reboot, as the desktop user:

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 http://<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 for the full appliance walkthrough — udev/group, host.env, the Steam session unit, firewall, verify.)

Updates

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

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:

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).
