Welcome to Tutorials and Howtos, a place of basic and advanced configuration tasks for your Alpine Linux.

Howtos are smaller articles explaining how to perform a particular task with Alpine Linux, that expects a minimal knowledge from reader to perform actions. Howto's have been organized in the below page based on the topics.

The tutorials are hands-on and the reader is expected to try and achieve the goals described in each step, possibly with the help of a good example. The output in one step is the starting point for the following step.

Note:
  • Contributors are requested to refer to Help:Editing first and make use of resources like How to write a HOWTO.
  • Contributions must be complete articles.
  • Don't override already made contributions, unless there is a mistake.
  • If you want to request a topic, please add your request in this page's Discussion.

Desktop

Alpine Linux is a general purpose Linux distribution designed for power users. It is built to be small and resource efficient. If you feel the defaults are too lightweight for desktop use, it is easy to get most of the regular stuff working and use it as a daily driver.

This guide assumes you have already installed a minimal Alpine Linux system in system disk mode with working internet.

Note: Before installing any desktop,

Once the above mandatory steps are completed, install any desktop of your choice either manually or using setup-desktop script.
