| | | * Nothing at the moment |
| == Create a build environment ==
| |
| To start with you need a working [[Setting_up_the_build_environment|build environment]].
| |
| | |
| == Update your build environment ==
| |
| Inside the [[Setting_up_the_build_environment|build environment]] you will need latest aports.[[BR]]
| |
| If you don't already have it, run:
| |
| git clone http://git.alpinelinux.org/aports /aports
| |
| If you already had it you can just update it:
| |
| cd /aports && git pull

| = Upgrading Alpine =
| |
| | |
| This document describes how to replace an Alpine installation with a newer version.
| |
| | |
| The upgrade process consist of the following steps:
| |
| * Backup current setup
| |
| * Upgrade Alpine CD/USB
| |
| * Execute upgrade script
| |
| * Save changes
| |
| * Reboot
| |
| | |
| == Backing up current config ==
| |
| Its recommended to make a backup of your config before you start.<BR>
| |
| The idea is to save the (*apkovl*) from your media to a safe place.<BR>
| |
| If you need to rollback, simply revert to your old *apkovl.tar.gz*.
| |
| | |
| === Backing up to media ===
| |
| You could replace the existing floppy with a new (dos-formatted) floppy and then run the command:
| |
| lbu ci floppy
| |
| | |
| Or you could use a USB to store your configuration.
| |
| lbu ci usb
| |
| | |
| == Download new Alpine ==
| |
| [http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/w/index.php?title=Downloads Download] latest ISO image (or USB image).
| |
| | |
| === Upgrade CD media ===
| |
| Burn the ISO on a blank CD and replace the existing CD with the new.
| |
| /etc/init.d/modloop stop
| |
| eject
| |
| Now you should insert the new media.
| |
| /etc/init.d/modloop start
| |
| | |
| === Upgrade USB media ===
| |
| On USB installations you can just download and unpack the latest tar directly to ''/media/usb''.
| |
| $ wget -C /media/usb -q -O - \
| |
| http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/alpine/alpine/v1.7/usbdrive/alpine-1.7.22-i386.tar.gz \
| |
| | tar -zvx
| |
| | |
| == Execute upgrade script ==
| |
| The new media has a ''upgrade'' script found on root level on media (/media/cdrom/upgrade or /media/usb/upgrade).<BR>
| |
| Start by executing this script (in our example below we use CD media).
| |
| /media/cdrom/upgrade
| |
| | |
| === Example on how a upgrade could look ===
| |
| Before actually upgrading packages it will get an overview what packages will be upgraded.<BR>
| |
| It migh look something like this:
| |
| <pre>~ $ /media/usb/upgrade
| |
| Upgrading from alpine-1.7.2 to alpine-1.7.6
| |
| Will try to upgrade packages from
| |
| fetching usb://apks/INDEX.md5.gz
| |
| Looking for new packages...
| |
| The following packages will be updated:
| |
| alpine-baselayout-1.4.1-r1 < needs updating (index has 1.6.0)
| |
| alpine-conf-0.9 < needs updating (index has 1.0)
| |
| busybox-1.5.0-r1 < needs updating (index has 1.7.1)
| |
| | |
| Press Enter to continue or Ctrl-c to abort.
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| Verify that it looks ok and press [''enter''] to start the upgrade.
| |
| | |
| As a first step the upgrade script will try to upgrade apk-tools, uclibc and busybox.<BR>
| |
| Then it will upgrade all packages by running'' 'apk_add -u'''.<BR>
| |
| It will look something like this:
| |
| <pre>fetching usb://apks/busybox-1.7.1.apk
| |
| updating busybox-1.5.0-r1 to busybox-1.7.1
| |
| fetching usb://apks/alpine-baselayout-1.6.0.apk
| |
| updating alpine-baselayout-1.4.1-r1 to alpine-baselayout-1.6.0
| |
| fetching usb://apks/alpine-conf-1.0.apk
| |
| updating alpine-conf-0.9 to alpine-conf-1.0
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| When then'' 'apk_add' ''application upgrades packages, it will detect that you have modified some config files.<BR>
| |
| Instead of overwriting your config, it will install the new config with the suffix'' '.apk-new'''.<BR>
| |
| This way you are able to review and merge in changes from the default config to your own config file.<BR>
| |
| Config files that are untouched will just silently be replaced.
| |
| | |
| The'' 'upgrade' ''script will execute'' 'update-conf' ''to assist you in merging the config files.<BR>
| |
| It will first display a list of config files that you will need to take care of manually.<BR>
| |
| Like this:
| |
| <pre>The following config files have been updated and need attention:
| |
| /etc/profile
| |
| /etc/modules
| |
| /etc/inittab
| |
| /etc/hosts
| |
| /etc/init.d/syslog
| |
| /etc/init.d/networking
| |
| /etc/init.d/modloop
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| Afterward it will step through every file, displaying a diff and give you options to act:

| This time the change is not caused by us, but its a change in the default config.<BR>
| |
| This is even related to where the login screen should appear so if we dont merge this change, we might not be able to see the login screen!<BR>
| |
| We choose'' 'u' ''to use the new config.
| |
| | |
| Continue go through every config file.<BR>
| |
| Sometimes you might want to edit the new file, or leave the upgrade process to take care of the config file manually by using option'' 'q'''.<BR>
| |
| You can always resume later by either running the'' 'upgrade' ''script again or by executing'' 'update-conf -i'''.
| |
| | |
| == Save changes ==
| |
| Now that all upgrades are done, we should save our settings to our media (which you hopefully have backed up).
| |
| lbu ci floppy
| |
| | |
| == Rebooting ==
| |
| In most cases you will need to reboot Alpine (specially if there are changes in the kernel):
| |
| kill 1
| |
| '''''Note:''' If you know what you are doing, you might not need to reboot.<BR>But make sure that all services affected by the upgrade are restarted.''

| = Postfix on 1.9 =
| |
| | |
| == General ==
| |
| The idea is to create a postfix config to host multiple maildomains.<BR>
| |
| I want to document both how it's set up and how it's maintained
| |
| | |
| Dovecot should be configured to let users fetch their mail through ssl<BR>
| |
| The aim is also to be able to fetch mail with mobile devices eg. mobile phones.
| |
| | |
| == Initial Setup ==
| |
| Burn [http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v1.9/iso/alpine-1.9.0_alpha10-i386.iso alpine_1.9alpha10] on a CD and boot the machine.<BR>
| |
| '''''Suggestion:''' Follow notes on [[Setting_up_a_ssh-server]] to be able to remotely administer this box.''
| |
| | |
| == Postfix ==
| |
| | |
| === Install ===
| |
| apk_add postfix
| |
| | |
| === Prepare ===
| |
| We need to create a user on this system that has rights to read/write mail on you system.<BR>
| |
| Let's call this user ''vmail'' (you can choose another name if you like).<BR>
| |
| You will get prompted for a password.
| |
| adduser vmail
| |
| Now we need to know what gid/uid that user got.<BR>
| |
| Take notes on the numbers, you will need the in the upcoming configuration (in my case I got uid/gid '1001').
| |
| grep vmail /etc/passwd
| |
| This newly-created user will need permissions in the ''mail'' group.<BR>
| |
| Edit ''/etc/group'' and add ''vmail'' to the ''postdrop'' group. Se example below:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| postdrop:x:208:vmail
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| ==== Create missing dirs ====
| |
| Seems we are missing ''/var/spool/mail'' and ''/var/mail'' so we need to create those
| |
| mkdir /var/spool/mail
| |
| ln -s /var/spool/mail /var/mail
| |
| | |
| ==== Create virtual maildir ====
| |
| In the upcoming configuration we are going to specify ''/var/mail/vhosts/'' as the ''virtual_mailbox_base'' so we need to create it.
| |
| mkdir /var/mail/vhosts
| |
| And we need to give permissions to our ''vmail'' user so he can read/write in this folder.
| |
| chown vmail:vmail /var/mail/vhosts
| |
| | |
| === Configuration ===
| |
| For now I just dump whatever I have.
| |
| I will clean up these notes soon.
