This page has pointers to various resources about Alpine Linux from a developer perspective. Set up the build environment and start contributing to Alpine Linux by either creating packages or by submitting patches.
Configuring your development system
- Setting up the build environment
- Upgrading to Edge
- Installing Alpine Linux in a chroot
- Install Alpine on LXC
- VMware, Qemu, or Amazon EC2
- Xen Dom0 (Setting up Alpine as a dom0 for Xen hypervisor)
Creating packages and patches
Development tools
