Setting up lm sensors
This document is a short note on how to set up lm-sensors in Alpine.
Install the neccessary packages.
# apk add lm-sensors lm-sensors-sensord lm-sensors-detect
Load the i2c-dev module:
# echo i2c-dev >> /etc/modules-load.d/i2c.conf # modprobe i2c-dev
Run sensors detect:
# sensors-detect
There are multiple types of sensors that you must skip scanning for (answer no
to the prompt) because grsec will not allow you to access /proc/port. If you encounter an error that says something like /dev/port: no such file..
, re-run the script and answer no
to that question on the next attempt. Examples of ones that you must enter no
for: ISA bus, other Super I/O sensors, and IPMI.
Be sure to enter yes
(non-default) for the question Do you want to generate /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors?
You will not need perl anymore. Remove it before you forget.
# apk del lm-sensors-detect
Make services start during next reboot.
# rc-update add sensord default
Start services:
# rc-service sensord start
Don't forget to save your new server configuration using
# lbu commit
