#+TITLE: Pinephone setup

Below are the steps I follow post standard installation of mobian on my pinephone.
* Start temporary terminal session
The first thing I do once the operating system is installed and up to date is to install ~tmate~ so that I can start a temporary remotely accessible terminal session on the device.
This will give us a terminal session we can use to complete the remainder of this setup.
#+NAME: Install tmate
#+begin_src tmate
sudo apt install --yes tmate
#+end_src
* Setup ssh server
Once we have a foothold on the device via tmate we need to setup ~ssh~ server which we will use to securely connect to the device.
#+NAME: Setup ssh server[
#+begin_src tmate
sudo apt install --yes openssh-server
#+end_src
* Setup access tunnel
We want to be able to drop into a terminal on the device from anywhere provided it is powered on and has an internet connection. We can achieve this using a [[https://www.cloudflare.com/products/tunnel/][cloudflare access tunnel]].
There are many similar projects that can achieve a similar outcome however I currently use cloudflare for dns for my domains and want to keep control plane sprawl down currently. In future I might move to a self hosted tunnel solution.
To install the ~cloudflared~ daemon on the phone go to the control plane at https://one.dash.cloudflare.com, select the ~james-pinephone-pro~ tunnel, then run the given command on the pinephone terminal to install the service.
Note: Ensure to select the ~arm64-bit~ architecture rather than the default ~64-bit~.
The command will look something like this:
#+NAME: Install cloudflared
#+begin_src tmate
curl -L --output cloudflared.deb https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-arm64.deb &&
sudo dpkg -i cloudflared.deb &&
sudo cloudflared service install <token>
#+end_src
* Bluetooth audio fix
To pair a wireless headset we first need to install the pa bluetooth module.
#+NAME: Install pa bt module
#+begin_src tmate
sudo apt install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
#+end_src
* Optional configuration
Once the primary setup is complete there is some further customisation I will generally do however these steps are optional.
** List apt changelogs when upgrading
Development for linux mobile packages is happening at a fast rate and breaking changes are sometimes introduced. For this reason I like to keep a close eye on package changelogs and get an idea of what is changing before an upgrade.
To help with this package changelogs can be displayed directly in terminal whenever completing a ~sudo apt upgrade~. Follow the steps below to set this up.
#+NAME: Install list changes
#+begin_src tmate
sudo apt install --yes apt-listchanges
#+end_src
#+NAME: Set listchanges config
#+begin_src tmate
sudo tee /etc/apt/listchanges.conf << EOF
