@ve3mal glad you enjoyed the read and that you also got to running #AlpineLinux on the desktop! Lean, mean and FAST!
But yes, the post is four years old when Alpine was, I think, on version 3.17. A lot of things changed since I wrote, including the fact that full disk encryption is a given option right in the installer script - a vast improvement.
I probably should write a new guide for it, better yet, make a video about it, since my last one showcasing 3.17 in Peertube got deleted.
Сборка кастомного ISO образа Alpine Linux
Alpine - это легковесный Linux который используется для минимальной установки. Для безопасности в docker образах используют его. Используется для минимальных сборок. Иногда возникает ситуации когда нужен кастомный образ iso со всеми нужными пакетами, а стандартные образы не содержит нужные пакеты в этом случае помогает сборка собственного iso. В этой статье расскажу как я собрал образ для выполнения одной задачи.
while #Gnome isn't working on my laptop, I decided to downgrade for now ✨
Hey #Linux / #Mesa / #gallium folks,
I'm having a problem where I can't start any graphical user interface, whether it's wayland or x11 because the driver files given by mesa don't have the __driDriverExtensions symbol
Anyone know how to deal with this? I'm on #AlpineLinux / #AsahiLinux. If you have a lot of linux friends, feel free to boost!
@resingm I don’t think there are any books on Alpine Linux. What should such a book include or cover to be a great book?
Is there any great book on #AlpineLinux ? I love the concept, and love the considerations of the operating system. Yet, I usually opt for #Debian since I am much more familiar with it. It would be great to change that in the mid-term.
#Alpine #Linux #Sysadmin #askfedi #askmasto #askinfosec #unix
does anyone running #AlpineLinux / #AsahiLinux know what happened and what caused the regression? i just wanna use my laptop and dont feel like manually doing aports stuff 😅 https://gamedev.lgbt/@bram/114692311274661067
first linux regression in a while: an update from an #AlpineLinux package caused a driver .so file to be removed and now i can no longer run GDM, X11 or wayland 🫠
My virtual #alpinelinux is consuming 96% memory and I have no idea where. All the usual tools like htop don't know - just showing a bunch of processes using less than 1% each. Any idea?
@omar #alpinelinux sort of does. Examples on the wiki how to do non-standard installs. Yes you need to do some typing but for a small project, trying to capture every nuanced install is impossible. In #alpinelinux, it is very simple to set the disks up just how you want during the install.
Anybody else having problems with the latest #alpinelinux virt kernel 6.12.33 on #arm64?
@crazy2bike Bin kürzlich von Synology + diversen Pi auf einen ThinClient mit einem 35W i5, 16GB RAM, SSD und zwei externen HDDs umgestiegen. Ein Dell, aber die gibts vor allem gebraucht massenhaft auch von HP, Lenovo oder Fujitsu. Nummer kleiner wäre ein Mini PC mit N100.
Das ganze läuft unter #alpinelinux Diskless, da noch schlanker und überschaubarer (für mich) als Proxmox. Auf der Kiste läßt sich fast alles installieren - Docker/Podman/Containerd, LXC oder VM kein Problem.

While playing with #gnome on #alpinelinux, I decided to try out a new audio player. For many years, I used ncmpc w/ #mpd... but I don't really want to run an audio server 24/7 these days.
Looking around the #GNOME Circle, I found #amberol and quickly fell in love.

It's a simple and beautiful app that just plays music!
I really appreciate that you can add to the playlist via the terminal and that it supports MPRIS. I am now also using it on my #ubuntu system.
At the risk of being a bandwagon hopper, I'm on board with #ghostty and our new #zig overlords :}
I actually played around with #ptyxis on #alpinelinux and really liked it, but when I went to try it on #ubuntu, there wasn't a readily available package (there is a nightly flatpak... but it didn't look great).
My friend @me told me to try out #ghostty "frfr" and I did despite normally avoiding hypeware.
Well, I'm a believer. I'm amazed at how native it feels (even more so than gnome-terminal!)
@jbz Currently, my self-hosted services and appliances rely on either #alpinelinux - utilizing OpenRC instead of systemd - or OpenWrt. With both I am relatively satisfied, and I have a feeling that I have my stuff under control.
FreeBSD is definitely on my watchlist for a no-nonsense OS. Once I have some time to spare, I‘m investigating how I could run niceties like paperless-ngx and immich on it.
Does anyone know if there's a "canonical" way to check if an OpenRC user session for the current user is active in #AlpineLinux? :neocat_think:
