How build the Alpine Linux kernel
A customized build of the Alpine Linux may be needed if you are experimenting with adding/removing kernel features and modules. For example, Alpine releases multiple [[Kernels]kernels] that vary in features and file sizes. Alpine kernels extend the standard Linux kernel and build within a few minutes to a few hours (depending on the speed of your system) using abuild, aports, and alpine-sdk.
Before you start
A running instance of Alpine Linux and a non-root user with doas (wheel group) privileges are required to use abuild.
Build & install the kernel

doas apk add alpine-sdk doas addgroup USERNAME abuild # your non-root user git clone --depth 1 https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports.git abuild-keygen --append --install cd aports/main/linux-lts/ time abuild -crK
