Johnathan Corgan 537eaf0db7 Fix tarball reproducibility: default SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH and sort entries
build-tarball.sh only applied --mtime when SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH was
explicitly set, and did not sort tar entries. This produced different
tarballs across builds due to varying timestamps and filesystem
ordering. Default SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to the git commit timestamp and
add --sort=name for deterministic output.

FIPS Packaging

This directory contains packaging for all supported target platforms. All build outputs go to deploy/ at the project root.

Quick Start

make deb        # Debian/Ubuntu .deb
make tarball    # systemd install tarball
make ipk        # OpenWrt .ipk
make all        # deb + tarball (default)

Directory Structure

packaging/
  common/         Shared assets (default config, hosts file)
  debian/         Debian/Ubuntu .deb packaging via cargo-deb
  systemd/        Generic Linux systemd tarball packaging
  openwrt/        OpenWrt .ipk packaging via cargo-zigbuild

Formats

Debian/Ubuntu (.deb)

Built with cargo-deb. Installs fips, fipsctl, and fipstop to /usr/bin/, places config at /etc/fips/fips.yaml (preserved on upgrade), and enables the systemd service.

# Build
make deb

# Install
sudo dpkg -i deploy/fips_<version>_<arch>.deb

# Remove (preserves config and keys)
sudo dpkg -r fips

# Purge (removes config and identity keys)
sudo dpkg -P fips

systemd Tarball

A self-contained tarball with binaries and an install.sh script for any systemd-based Linux distribution.

# Build
make tarball

# Install (on target host)
tar -xzf deploy/fips-<version>-linux-<arch>.tar.gz
sudo ./fips-<version>-linux-<arch>/install.sh

See systemd/README.install.md for full installation and configuration instructions.

OpenWrt (.ipk)

Cross-compiled with cargo-zigbuild and assembled as a standard .ipk archive. Supports aarch64, mipsel, mips, arm, and x86_64 targets.

# Build (default: aarch64)
make ipk

# Build for a specific architecture
bash packaging/openwrt/build-ipk.sh --arch mipsel

See openwrt/README.md for router-specific installation instructions.

Shared Assets

common/ contains assets used across packaging formats:

  • fips.yaml — default configuration (ephemeral identity, UDP/TCP/TUN/DNS)
  • hosts — static hostname-to-npub mappings for .fips DNS resolution
