New page

OpenRC has it's own method for saving the clock called "swclock", that's what I went with. Normally swclock simply changes a symlink ie /sbin/openrc-run -> /sbin/openrc when it saves the time.

However this when restored will have the time that the package was put together, because Alpine Linux unpacks packages on boot, then moves the provisioned configs from apkprov. You will need to make these changes to specify a file.

Then touch the file:
{{cmd|touch /etc/swclock_saved_time}}

and finally add swclock to the boot run level
{{cmd|rc-update add swclock boot}}

You will also need to include the new init script in your apkprov, otherwise it will be overwritten with the one from the OpenRC package.
{{cmd|lbu include /etc/init.d/swclock}}
