This tutorial will help you install Alpine Linux on your Raspberry Pi.
Preparation
- Download Alpine for Raspberry Pi tarball
- Mount your SD card to your workstation
- Use gnome-disks or fdisk to create a vfat partition (file system id='c')
- Mark the newly created partition as bootable and save
- Mount the previously created filesystem
- Extract the tarball contents to your SD Card
- Unmount the SD Card.
Installation
Alpine Linux will be installed as diskless mode, hence you need to use Alpine Local Backup (lbu) to save your modifications between reboots.
- Insert the SD Card into the Raspberry Pi and turn it on
- Login into the Alpine system
- Type
setup-alpine - Once the installation is complete, commit the changes by typing
lbu commit - Reboot to verify that the installation was indeed successful.
