* Add the apache2 package with {{Codeline|apk add apache2}}

* Navigate a browser to the machine's address; there you should see the default "It works" page
 
* Consider permanently enabling apache on startup with {{Codeline|rc-update add apache2}}
Move to the directory where your site will resides:
* Edit the configuration in {{Path|/etc/apache2/}}, then run {{Codeline|rc-service apache2 restart}} to enable your changes
 
* Consult the official documentation https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/
{{Cmd|#cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs}}
 
And create an index.html file to test if everything is ok:
 
{{Cmd|#vi index.html}}
 
And add the following lines:
 
{{Cmd|<html>
<head>
<title> My first page </title>
</head>
<body>
It works!
</body>
</html>}}
 
That done, let us start apache2 web server:
 
{{Cmd|rc-service apache2 start}}
 
Now access: http://<ip_address> and if everything is ok you will see the html page.
 
== Ending ==
 
Finally let us set up apache2 to start on operating system startup:
 
{{Cmd|rc-update add apache2}}
 
Now you can create your html site and host in this directory.
