The recording of my #AllSystemsGo 2026 talk is up: “Immutable, Fully-Confined Debian Server Images, Even on a Raspberry Pi 3”.

A minimal Debian server built with mkosi and apparmor.d: UKI, A/B updates, dm-verity, a whole-system #AppArmor policy and an immutable /etc from signed confext images. Same image on x86-64 and a Pi 3, with different attacker models.

Immutable, Fully-Confined Debian Server Images, Even on a Raspberry Pi 3 All Systems Go! 2026

Using mkosi and apparmor.d as building blocks, this talk presents a prototype minimal Debian server. The goal is not to provide yet another Linux distribution, but to explore how hard it is to build personalized, hardened server images. On top of the usual mkosi-backed features such as UKIs, A/B updates and dm-verity, the project adds a whole-system AppArmor policy and an immutable `/etc`. Because older devices also matter, the prototype supports the Raspberry Pi 3 (UEFI) too, with minor changes to the security model. The talk presents the differences in design, attacker model, and implementation between the various targets.
