Download
Official images for the PinePhone Pro will be available once it is in the "community" category of devices. Until then, build your own image with pmbootstrap.
See the pine64-pinephonepro page of the postmarketOS wiki for details.
DPA Images
Multiple versions of unofficial images of various debian based distros. They also contain some of my own software.
Most of these images are still in development / incomplete, and I don't have time to test them all, but I think they can still be useful as a starting point to get distros running for which no other images have been created yet. I actually made this just because I wanted to run my favorite distro, devuan, on my phone.
My build scripts can be found in various places: GitLab, my server, GitHub
In theory, these build scripts can create images for any debian based distribution which supports arm64 and can be bootstrapped using debootstrap.
