So langsam finde ich Gefallen an #alpinelinux . Auch wenn ich momentan nix mit Containern mache. Hübsch klein und übersichtlich. Kann man verstehen, wenn viele jeden Scheiß in extra Container packen und dann mühsam wieder Daten und Netz zusammenführen. 😂 Neeee, ich baue meinen Kram lieber selbst. Momentan noch via Virtualbox. Aber später werde ich mich mal in KVM und Konsorten reinfuchsen. Aber momentan langweilt sich mein Homeserver trotz der VirtualBox Instanzen.

🌟 Exciting News for X11 Enthusiasts! 🌟

Have you heard about The Wayback Project? It's an innovative initiative aiming to save classic X11 desktops from becoming obsolete with the rise of Wayland. 💻

The Wayback Project introduces an experimental Wayland compositor that hosts a "rootful" Xwayland instance. This means your favorite X11 desktop environments like Cinnamon, Xfce, LXDE, and even W3 can run seamlessly on Wayland 🚀

Created by the talented Alpine Linux developer Ariadne Conill, this project is a game-changer for those of us who still rely on legacy desktops and apps. Early builds are already up and running, bugs and all, and the project is actively seeking testers and contributors to help refine and improve it.

Alright I've got myself a 1GB RAM VPS for $12 for the year (a 4x increase over the Pi 😆). It's in London and everything for super low latency! I managed to get #alpinelinux installed through some hackery and migrate my blog and #snac instance to it.

One slightly weird thing I had is that inbound #ipv6 traffic on both SSH and HTTPS was returning a "connection reset by peer" for a while. It seems to be working now, but if some IPv6 folks can check https://cablespaghetti.dev loads properly over v6 for them now, it would put my mind at rest.

ahora andamos en alpine(dios mio quitenme el distrohopping).

voy a probarlo por 1 semana con kde plasma y contare mi experiencia sobre que tan bueno es alpine y como funciona musl para uso domestico,por ahora le hare unos pequeños ajustes a la distro y instalare las apps que nesecito por flatpak o compilandolas.

I couldn't figure out how to add my #matrix account to the Chats app, so that's why I fell back to using #irc

That said, I'm surprised the #gnome weather app worked... because it doesn't on normal #alpinelinux o_O.

I'll try to add my calendar and contacts later and see if I can make an actual phone call... crazy stuff :}

Updating from my #alpinelinux laptop... because typing on the #postmarketos #gnome shell is really challenging/unforgiving both in terms of latency and accuracy.

I was not a fan of #firefox, especially with the bottom address bar, so I used console to install #epiphany via:

$ doas apk add epiphany

Not only does epiphany look better on the phone, but it also allows me to install web apps, which I did for #thelounge, a web-based #irc client.

We talked about the roadmap for #AlpineLinux 3.23 yesterday. So far we have:

- apk-tools 3.0
- gcc 15
- python 3.13
- improve/clean up Alpine user handbook (we need volunteers for this)

See
gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/ if you want help or have things you are working on that should be included.

GitLabRoadmap for Alpine Linux v3.23 (#17294) · Issues · alpine / aports · GitLabThis issue contains the roadmap for Alpine Linux 3.23, the next Alpine Linux release. Each item is tracked as a child issue.
Natanael Copa

We are planning to update apk-tools to 3.0 in edge repository on July 1, 2025.

We are keeping the apk 2 index and package formats for now, so everything *should* just work, but scripts parsing the output of apk may need to be adjusted.

Here's a blog post on setting up Alpine Linux on my old 256MB Raspberry Pi in diskless mode and having it host a static site (and now my blog). I'll write up another on how I got Snac installed to have it host my fediverse presence over the next few days. Enjoy!

Part of running a #snac instance on a 256MB Raspberry Pi is working out how to do "stuff" without installing more #alpinelinux packages than you have RAM for.

Here's a script to backup to Backblaze B2 with just Jq as an additional dependency (and the included curl, tar, openssl etc.). It works so far...

The week's side quest is mostly installing #alpinelinux on 1st gen Raspberry Pis in "diskless" mode.

I've got at least three of the things gathering dust, and I love the challenge of working with limited hardware.

Diskless mode runs everything in RAM and needs a git-like "lbu commit" command to persist changes. This speeds things up a LOT and should mean the SD card lasts a long time.

This started as an experiment and now somehow I'm replacing most of my infrastructure with it.

I now have an experimental #snac instance, AdGuard Home for the kids and it's not stopping there...

Today in Sam's random side-quests, I have determined that it is possible to get 1100 requests per second out of an original 256MB RAM Raspberry Pi from 2011.

The setup is Lighttpd on Alpine Linux (diskless in-memory mode) and the Pi is overclocked from 700Mhz to 1.1Ghz.

I maxed out the 100Mb NIC, so turned on GZIP compression and went from about 525 to 1100 as a result.

HTTPS results coming soon (whether or not anyone cares about this).

My favorite new feature of #AlpineLinux 3.22: Support for OpenRC user services. The feature is still considered experimental, but some packages already provide user service files (e.g. dbus, pipewire, kanshi). Further, you can easily define your own in ~/.config/rc/.

If you use a PAM-enabled login method, you just need to install openrc-user-pam, and you're good to go.
