I like your script, thank you for your work.

I have a question: where is the config/rootfs/rootfs.tar file is coming from?

Hey! Glad you like it :) It's still very in-progress but I'm currently busy with other things.

I wanted to release a guide at some point where I explain all of it but didn't finish it.

I'm using the make-rootfs script from alpine to generate it. The important part is that it needs to run on an arm machine, or the rootfs won't be compatible with the mango pi.

Here's the rootfs section from the guide:

Creating a root file system with Alpine

This needs to be run on an arm alpine machine to generate arm executables. Easiest way is probably to run it in a docker container (docker run --platform linux/arm64/v8 alpine)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/alpinelinux/alpine-make-rootfs.git
cd alpine-make-rootfs/
./alpine-make-rootfs --branch v3.17 --packages 'openrc apk-tools wireless-regdb chrony iwd openssh cloud-utils-growpart e2fsprogs-extra' rootfs.tar
cd ..
