h1. Managing Alpine Linux {{toc}} h2. Create a UEFI bootable usb stick * Download the alpine iso * Create one fresh new partition on the USB stick - NEEDS TO BE GPT ** partition type must be EFI (ef00) * Format the partition with mkfs.vfat * mount the ISO (mount -o loop /path/to/iso /somewhere) * mount the USB stick (mount /dev/sdX1 /somewhere_else) ** copy files from the alpine ISO: @cd /somewhere; tar c . | ( cd /somewhere_else; tar xv ; sync)@ * umount the usb stick * umount the ISO You can now use the USB stick for UEFI booting. h2. Installing in IPv6 only networks * Select DHCP * After it acquires an IP address stop and change to a different console * Add valid DNS servers to */etc/resolv.conf* ** In our case: for instance @nameserver 2a0a:e5c0:2:a::a@ * Test pinging: @ping ungleich.ch@ h2. Installing with encrypted root filesystem * apk add cryptsetup * abort setup-alpine * mounting manually the crypted device * switching to setup-disk /mnt * bind mounting the dev/sys/proc/efivars into /mnt * modifying /etc/mkinitfs/mkinitfs.conf to include cryptsetup AND nvme! * running mkinitfs * modify /etc/default/grub * apk add efibootmgr in the chroot * run grub-install --efi-directory=/boot * apk add dhcpcd * grub-mkconfig > /boot/grub/grub.cfg * setup root password in chroot * post reboot: switch repos to edge (required for variety of packages)
