The following error may occur:
{{Cmd|ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints:
  virtualbox-additions-grsec (missing):
      required by: world[virtualbox-additions-grsec]}}
If the error occurs, then you need to enable the alpine testing repo:
{{Cmd|echo "http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing" >> /etc/apk/repositories}}
Then update respository indexes from all remote repositories, and install <code>virtualbox-additions-grsec</code>
{{Cmd|apk update
apk add virtualbox-additions-grsec}}
Then add <code>vboxpci</code>,<code>vboxdrv</code>, and <code>vboxnetflt</code> to <code>/etc/modules</code>:
{{Cmd|echo vboxpci >> /etc/modules
echo vboxdrv >> /etc/modules
echo vboxnetflt >> /etc/modules}}
And reboot to put these changes into effect.
