Alpine Linux has no official desktop and setting up a graphical environment is not even part of Installation. All window managers and desktop environments that are available in Alpine Linux are listed in this page. Quick installation using setup-desktop script is available for few desktops.
Tip: For servers consider using Alpine Configuration Framework(ACF) for security reasons.
