OS Images of Phosh's Nightly Builds

Overview

BengalOS provides immutable OS images for Phosh's nightly package builds. They support A/B updates and are thus safe to upgrade. If something goes wrong you can fall back to the old version.

BengalOS is currently in beta stage. While we try to avoid incompatible changes that require a reinstall, they still might happen. If you intend to use BengalOS, please also join our Matrix channel to get up to date information and provide feedback on issues you encounter.

For other options to install and run Phosh on your device see here.
