Documentation on how to replace the ACF Web SSL keys with ones from the ACF CA interface.

stuff which is not easy to find out:
boot vs. sysinit, why is fsck not enabled per default on a disk based install?

How about adding a network monitoring category to the list? [[User:Jbilyk|Jbilyk]] 22:23, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
----
:Sure. Maybe just ''monitoring''? Then we can include disk monitoring etc. --[[User:Ncopa|Ncopa]] 01:31, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

== a template for obsolete? ==

Would it be an idea to have a template for obsolete docs?
<nowiki>{{Obsolete}}</nowiki>

We could also include a category ''obsolete''there so we can quickly find all outdated docs.

== a template for Alpine-version tested doc ==
Many docs/howtos are related to some specific version(s) of Alpine and might or might not apply for some specific version of Alpine.
I think it would be a good idea to have some template (and maybe a tag) that shows which (latest) Alpine release this doc has proven to work. With such information in a doc/howto it's quite easy to either test/update it for a newer release of of Alpine or mark the doc obsolete.
-- [[User:Mhavela|Mhavela]] 16:26, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
:This is interesting idea. We should also think about dealing with changes in futures Alpine Linux versions and how to address documentation and changes that appear for them. I've started working on something but I need Ideas, hints or examples. Should it be on the top or bottom? Right or left, big or small? You know what I mean... --[[User:K0gen|K0gen]] 03:14, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

== category HOWTO? ==

Do we really want a category HOWTO? I think its too general to be useful.
--[[User:Ncopa|Ncopa]] 07:47, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
:I say we skip the howto category for now. If we grow in 1000 howto's than maybe we can bring it back, but for now this category is pointless.--[[User:K0gen|K0gen]] 03:14, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

== ZRAM: Compressed Memory==

This document is a short note on how to set up [https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/blockdev/zram.html ZRAM] in Alpine.

Install the neccessary packages.
{{Cmd|# apk add {{pkg|zram-init}}}}

Make service start during next reboot.
{{Cmd|# rc-update add zram-init}}

Configure ZRAM SWAP:
{{Cmd|# vi /etc/conf.d/zram-init}}

For basic ZRAM swap:
# Update from num_devices=3 to num_devices=1
# Change the size0=512 to the desired megabytes (same as available RAM or 8GB, whichever is less)
# Change the default algorithm from zstd to lzo-rle
{{warning| The default algorithm zstd does not work with Alpine Linux.[https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/10044 10044]}}

Start services:
{{Cmd|# rc-service zram-init start}}

View the ZRAM drive
{{Cmd|# cat /proc/swaps}}

Check Algorithms:
{{Cmd|# cat /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm}}

Advanced setups may also add these parameters to /etc/sysctl.conf:
* vm.page-cluster=0
* vm.extfrag_threshold=0
* vm.swappiness=100

Would it be an idea to have a template for obsolete docs?

We could also include a category ''obsolete''there so we can quickly find all outdated docs.

== a template for Alpine-version tested doc ==
Many docs/howtos are related to some specific version(s) of Alpine and might or might not apply for some specific version of Alpine.
I think it would be a good idea to have some template (and maybe a tag) that shows which (latest) Alpine release this doc has proven to work. With such information in a doc/howto it's quite easy to either test/update it for a newer release of of Alpine or mark the doc obsolete.
-- [[User:Mhavela|Mhavela]] 16:26, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
:This is interesting idea. We should also think about dealing with changes in futures Alpine Linux versions and how to address documentation and changes that appear for them. I've started working on something but I need Ideas, hints or examples. Should it be on the top or bottom? Right or left, big or small?

== ZRAM: Compressed Memory==

This document is a short note on how to set up [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zram ZRAM] in Alpine.

Install the neccessary packages.
{{Cmd|# apk add {{pkg|zram-init}}}}

Make service start during next reboot.
{{Cmd|# rc-update add zram-init}}

Configure ZRAM SWAP:
{{Cmd|# vi /etc/conf.d/zram-init}}

For basic ZRAM swap:
# Update from num_devices=3 to num_devices=1
# Change the size0=512 to the desired megabytes
# Change the default algorithm from zstd to lz4
{{warning| The default algorithm zstd does not work with Alpine Linux.[https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/10044 10044]}}

Start services:
{{Cmd|# rc-service zram-init start}}

View the ZRAM drive
{{Cmd|# cat /proc/swaps}}

Check Algorithms:
{{Cmd|# cat /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm}}

== a template for Alpine-version tested doc ==
Many docs/howtos are related to some specific version(s) of Alpine and might or might not apply for some specific version of Alpine.
I think it would be a good idea to have some template (and maybe a tag) that shows which (latest) Alpine release this doc has proven to work. With such information in a doc/howto it's quite easy to either test/update it for a newer release of of Alpine or mark the doc obsolete.

:This is interesting idea. We should also think about dealing with changes in futures Alpine Linux versions and how to address documentation and changes that appear for them. I've started working on something but I need Ideas, hints or examples. Should it be on the top or bottom? Right or left, big or small? You know what I mean... --[[User:K0gen|K0gen]] 03:14, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

== category HOWTO? ==

Do we really want a category HOWTO? I think its too general to be useful.
--[[User:Ncopa|Ncopa]] 07:47, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
:I say we skip the howto category for now. If we grow in 1000 howto's than maybe we can bring it back, but for now this category is pointless.--[[User:K0gen|K0gen]] 03:14, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

== zram: Compressed Memory==

This document is a short note on how to set up [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zram ZRAM] in Alpine.

Install the neccessary packages.
{{Cmd|# apk add {{pkg|zram-init}}}}

Make service start during next reboot.
{{Cmd|# rc-update add zram-init}}

Configure ZRAM SWAP:
{{Cmd|# vi /etc/conf.d/zram-init}}

For basic ZRAM swap, update from num_devices=3 to num_devices=1 & Change the default algorithm to lz4
{{warning| The default algorithm zstd does not work with Alpine Linux.
Check Available Algorithms:
{{Cmd|# cat /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm}}}}

Start services:
{{Cmd|# rc-service zram-init start}}

View the ZRAM drive
{{Cmd|# cat /proc/swaps}}

===Documentation requests:===
=====SSL + CA=====
Documentation on how to replace the ACF Web SSL keys with ones from the ACF CA interface.

=====Runlevel definitions=====
stuff which is not easy to find out:
boot vs. sysinit, why is fsck not enabled per default on a disk based install?

===Sorting / Categories: ===
I wonder if we shoudl tag articles (categories) and have an category index here
----
:I guess this will be needed sooner or later so my short answer is '''YES'''. - Any suggestions for categories? BTW please add <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> or <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your talk text to add your signature and time mark. Thanks --[[User:K0gen|K0gen]] 14:32, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Suggested Categories:
* ACF
* HOWTO
* development
* network
* install
* vserver
* voip
* email
* virtualizaion
* xfce
* xorg
there are probably more

How about adding a network monitoring category to the list? [[User:Jbilyk|Jbilyk]] 22:23, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
----
:Sure. Maybe just ''monitoring''? Then we can include disk monitoring etc. --[[User:Ncopa|Ncopa]] 01:31, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

== a template for obsolete? ==

Would it be an idea to have a template for obsolete docs?
<nowiki>{{Obsolete}}</nowiki>

We could also include a category ''obsolete''there so we can quickly find all outdated docs.
