Alpine Linux talk:FAQ

How can I install a custom firmware in a diskless system?

After reboot Alpine should automatically use the directory on your local storage instead of the loopback device.

Is this correct? What is the underlying mechanism for detecting this? Should we supply a bit more detail?

How do I set the local timezone?

This answer targets uClibc. Should be updated to explain we no longer use that libc.

Is there a port of LXDE/LXQt?

Is there a port of LXDE/LXQt? I'd like to run it in Alpine instead of XFCE. — Preceding unsigned comments added by JLIT99 (talk • contribs) 06:54, 12 December 2017‎

Yes, LXQt is available. zcrayfish (talk) 20:01, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Package requests

Is there an easy way to filter or search the GitLab issues for packages that have been requested and refused?

I know that many Chromium and Firefox forks are refused for good reasons (e.g. LibreWolf, Ungoogled Chromium, and Brave).
