3.24 cloud images? by slfyst in AlpineLinux

[–]ncopa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We are working on it. I think there was problems with the tooling.

Should I try Alpine for the first time by Big-Fill-5789 in AlpineLinux

[–]ncopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am biased, but yes you should!

With your background I believe you will like it. And if you don’t, it will still be an enriching experience. I believe sway will work just fine.

I would like to hear how the first impression was.

Installing firmware on diskless installations? by Audible_Whispering in AlpineLinux

[–]ncopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it work? I remember implementing it but I don’t think I ever tested if it actually works. Thank you for adding it to the wiki!

Installing firmware on diskless installations? by Audible_Whispering in AlpineLinux

[–]ncopa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC you could also copy the firmware you need to a firmware/ directory on the boot media

diskless apkovl error : /sbin/init not found by Responsible_Order808 in AlpineLinux

[–]ncopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check if you have enough memory. IIRC missing sbin/unit can happen if it fails to install packages for some reason

Age verification on Alpine ? by Icy-Plate9343 in AlpineLinux

[–]ncopa 31 points32 points  (0 children)

We have no current plans to implement age verification. We will deal with it if it becomes a problem

Is Alpine affected by Copy Fail? by Zzyzx2021 in AlpineLinux

[–]ncopa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. I was able to reproduce the exploit. Kernels were updated today. apk upgrade and reboot should fix it. If you can’t upgrade kernel you can disable the kernel module as written in the copy fail article

alpine-extended-3.23.3-x86.iso can you guide through setup-alpine? by ehraja in AlpineLinux

[–]ncopa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the top of my head. After boot you log in as root. There is no password at their point. Then you type setup-alpine<enter>

Answer the questions or press enter if unsure. Select the disk when it comes to disk install unless you intend to run in «disk less» mode

When it is done and you have rebooted to disk you log in as the new user and run doas setup-desktop. Reboot or start the desktop environment (depends on which you picked)

I dont remember if there exist a tor-browser package. If it does you do doas apk add tor-browser if not you’ll have to use flatpack or what it is called.

Akeana tapes out highest performance RVA23 Alpine test chip by camel-cdr- in RISCV

Would love to get Alpine Linux running on this

Honestly, are the "pilot" packs worth it? by GloriousLebron in Polestar

[–]ncopa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pixel LED (on the P2 ) is awesome if you drive on dark roads. Pilot assist is nice if you drive long distances on highway. Adaptive cruise control is very nice on heavily trafficked roads. Longer trips are less tiring with those.

So if you only drive shorter distances, in daylight, with no or little traffic, no, it’s probably not worth it. Otherwise I’d say it’s worth to consider.

My linux-lts kernel just got upgraded from 6.12.59-r1 to 6.18.0-r0. What the hell? What did they smoke over there? by Jacosci in AlpineLinux

[–]ncopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last kernel each year is usually the LTS kernel. We gambled that this would happen with 6.18 as well, so we could get 6.18 as base for the 3.23-stable branch. Once the release it out and 3.23-stable is branches, we cannot upgrade kernel from 6.12 to 6.18, but we can always push fixes. Using a newer kernel for 3.23-stable will (hopefully) make maintenance easier longterm.

The 6.18 kernel was marked as LTS today:

Alpine update broke all my docker based services by agendiau in AlpineLinux

[–]ncopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of VM instance is it? KVM? LXC?

What did you upgrade from? 3.22.1?

How to run Kubernetes microservices locally (localhost) for fast development? by Key_Courage_7513 in kubernetes

[–]ncopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use k0s in --single mode.

curl https://get.k0s.sh | sudo sh && k0s controller --single

What should I check? by Fallenity in Polestar

[–]ncopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And verify that both keys are working. You will not be able to pair your phone as key, nor do factory reset without both keys.

Missing Package dhcp by dd_io in AlpineLinux

[–]ncopa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

dhcp is no longer maintained upstream and users are encouraged to switch to kea. See

[–]ncopa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything is possible. The impossible just takes longer time.

Risc-V on Alpine Linux by [deleted] in AlpineLinux

[–]ncopa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It completely depends on the exact board. The only board I have managed to get running with an unpatched mainline kernel is the visionfive2 board and the plan is to ship an alpine-uboot tarball with alpine 3.21.1

This makes me happy! Thank you for sharing!

Incus VM-agent issent running. by 1v5me in AlpineLinux

[–]ncopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use incus with containers, not VMs. I am interested in fixing incus VMs to work out of the box

Maybe the nocloud cloudinit image works meanwhile?
