eudev is a device manager that provides a drop-in replacement for systemd udev. It is therefore recommended for full blown desktop environments.
Installation
The easy way to setup eudev is through the setup script. For custom installation see the manually section. Note that a manual installation is only recommended for advanced users.
Setup Script
The alpine-conf package provides setup-devd to easily install and setup device managers.
Install alpine-conf if it is not already installed.
# apk add alpine-conf
Setup eudev.
# setup-devd udev
Manually
You need to install eudev itself and the udev services.
# apk add eudev udev-init-scripts
If you already have a device manager installed you need to stop it before you start eudev.
Then enable the services.
# rc-update add udev sysinit # rc-update add udev-trigger sysinit # rc-update add udev-settle sysinit # rc-update add udev-postmount default
If you are not running in a chroot you will also want to start eudev.
# rc-service udev start # rc-service udev-trigger start # rc-service udev-settle start # rc-service udev-postmount start
Remove
If you are not running in a chroot you need to stop the service first.
# rc-service udev stop # rc-service udev-postmount stop
Then disable the services.
# rc-update delete udev sysinit # rc-update delete udev-trigger sysinit # rc-update delete udev-settle sysinit # rc-update delete udev-postmount default
You might also want to uninstall the packages since they are not used anymore.
# apk del eudev udev-init-scripts
