    Alpine Linux Headless Setup

    If anyone is bored and wants to run through an Alpine Linux headless install on a Raspberry Pi (or x86_64), I updated the wiki page I made for it and provided a link there to an overlay file that's already built.



    The basic steps are to:

    - download the appropriate RPi Alpine tarball
    - format an sd card and mount it
    - untar the Alpine files onto the sd card
    - copy the headless.apkovl.tar.gz file to the root of the sd card (do not untar)
    - create a wifi.txt in the root of the sd card (or skip this if using ethernet)
    - insert card and boot, pi should dhcp itself onto the network
    - ssh as root with no password to finish setup
