== acpid2 ==
 
[https://sourceforge.net/projects/acpid2/ acpid2] (provided by package {{pkg|acpid}}) is a flexible and extensible daemon with Netlink support for delivering ACPI events.
The [https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/blob/master/main/acpid/handler.sh default handler script] ({{path|/etc/acpi/handler.sh}}) installed with the package provides support for suspend on LID close out of the box.
We recommend installing {{pkg|zzz}} along with {{pkg|acpid}} to get support for pre/post suspend hooks etc.
 
# Install {{pkg|acpid}} and {{pkg|zzz}}: {{cmd|# apk add acpid zzz}}
# Enable and start the acpid daemon: {{cmd|# rc-update add acpid && rc-service acpid start}}
 
== Busybox acpid ==
 
This can be done via [[Busybox acpid]] with a hook in {{path|/etc/acpi/LID/00000080}}:
 
# '''with zzz:'''{{cmd|# apk add zzz}} {{cat|/etc/acpi/LID/00000080|#!/bin/sh
exec zzz
}}
# '''or with pm-utils:''' {{cmd|# apk add pm-utils}} {{cat|/etc/acpi/LID/00000080|#!/bin/sh
exec pm-suspend
}}
# '''or with raw variant''': {{cat|/etc/acpi/LID/00000080|#!/bin/sh
echo mem > /sys/power/state
}}
 
Make the hook executable:
{{cmd|# chmod +x /etc/acpi/LID/00000080}}
 
That should be it. To make sure that the acpid daemon is running, execute:
{{cmd|# rc-service acpid start}}
 
== elogind ==
 
Use elogind to trigger suspend and use doas to grant normal user such permissions.
 
Install elogind:
 
apk add elogind
rc-update add elogind
rc-service elogind start
 
Now suspend on lid close should be working as expected.
 
For normal user to trigger suspend, install doas:
 
apk add doas
 
Configure doas in <code>/etc/doas.conf</code>:
 
permit nopass $USER as root cmd /bin/loginctl
 
You should now be able to suspend the computer as a normal user, using the full path to executable.
