    I found out that hardening #AlpineLinux with use of industry standard tools (to make high-level #production #security) is quite different like #OpenSCAP doesn't work as expected and I'm figuring it out. I know #RHEL-based #Linux would be better for this purpose, but I'm taking the challenge. :blobcatwitch:

    Trying to run #OliveEditor 0.1 on #AlpineLinux. It doesn't appear to be packaged in #aports currently. Olive provides 0.1 as an #AppImage on their website. Installed the #fuse 2 Alpine package through aports, but executing the Olive AppImage just throws a load of "Error relocating /tmp/.mount_Olive-CPhlLo/usr/bin/../lib/libgmp.so.10: obstack_vprintf: symbol not found" errors. Curious how people run AppImages on Alpine. Does the "#Linux apps that run anywhere", run anywhere except Alpine?

    So I've been experiencing occasional #crashing on #AlpineLinux with an #AMD 6800H #APU #Hardware using #amdgpu. I've been trying to determine what the cause may be. The system will regularly freeze at the disk decryption prompt when booting, sometimes before that, or after when in #Wayland #Sway. I just tried upgrading to #libdrm 2.4.124 on alpine edge. Would appreciate any ideas that may be causing this behavior. Should I see if it's possible to get a newer kernel?

    Gave up on Apple Containers for the time being. Just too unpredictable and unmanageable networking.

    Was mainly using it to run a local Pihole container to filter out ads. Was recommended to use Podman as a drop-in replacement because I can't use Docker Desktop. But Podman uses a VM to host the containers and that VM does already bind on Port 53 for its container DNS resolution. So ended up using a small VM with UTM virtualisation app that runs the Pihole container in an Alpine Linux ....

    These are the hoops I jump through to avoid ads ....

    Pro-Grade Ham Radio Displays: Integrating OpenHamClock into PiSignage

    758 words, 4 minutes read time.

    A Helping Hand Needed for a Fellow Programmer

    I’m reaching out to see if you can lend a hand to a talented software developer who’s currently on the job hunt. With over 30 years of experience in C#, .NET (Core/6–8), REST APIs, SQL Server, Angular/Razor, Kubernetes, and cloud CI/CD, he’s a seasoned pro with a proven track record of leading modernization projects and delivering production systems.

    Some of his notable accomplishments include DB2 to SQL migrations, building real-time SignalR apps, and developing full-stack API and frontend projects. Based in Southeast Michigan, he’s looking for senior engineering, architecture, or technical lead roles that will challenge him and utilize his skills.

    If you’re in a position to help, you can check out his resume and portfolio at http://charles.friasteam.com.

    Let’s all look out for each other – if you know of any opportunities that might be a good fit, could you please consider passing this along to your network?

    —

    If you are a ham radio operator, you know that a HamClock is the ultimate shack companion. But what if you want to move beyond a dedicated small screen and integrate that data-rich display into a professional digital signage environment?

    By using PiSignage, you can rotate your HamClock with other station metrics, weather, or club announcements. However, getting a clean, secure, and “pop-up free” experience requires a few tricks.

    In this post, I’ll show you how to deploy OpenHamClock using Docker and how to strip away the UI clutter for a seamless kiosk experience.

    The Setup

    To follow along, you will need a PiSignage server instance. I personally run mine as a Docker container, which keeps the server stack isolated and easy to back up.

    1. The Docker Compose Configuration

    PiSignage and modern browsers often require secure contexts (HTTPS) for certain features. Since the standard HamClock output is HTTP, we’ll use a two-service setup: the clock itself and a lightweight SSL-wrap sidecar using socat and openssl.

    docker-componse.yml

     services:    openhamclock:      image: ghcr.io/accius/openhamclock:latest      container_name: openhamclock      expose:        - "3000"      environment:        - CALLSIGN=<CALL SIGN>        - LOCATOR=<Grid Square Locator>        - THEME=dark        - UNITS=imperial      restart: unless-stopped     ssl-wrap:      image: alpine      container_name: hamclock-ssl      ports:        - "3000:3000"      command: >        sh -c "apk add --no-cache socat openssl &&                openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /tmp/key.pem -out /tmp/cert.pem -days 365 -nodes -subj '/CN=localhost' &&               cat /tmp/cert.pem /tmp/key.pem > /tmp/combined.pem &&               socat OPENSSL-LISTEN:3000,cert=/tmp/combined.pem,verify=0,fork,reuseaddr TCP:openhamclock:3000"      restart: unless-stopped

    2. Silencing the “What’s New” Pop-ups

    When using HamClock as a signage element, you want it to be “set and forget.” The “What’s New” slide-ins are helpful for desktop users but ruin a clean kiosk display.

    While there is a formal change request pending for a toggle, you can currently “force” these elements to stay hidden by injecting a bit of CSS directly into the distribution files. Run this command within your app environment:

    find /app/dist -name "*.css" -exec sh -c 'echo "div[style*=\"whatsNewSlideIn\"], div[style*=\"backdrop-filter\"] { display: none !important; }" >> {}' \;

    3. Setting Up the Slide in PiSignage

    Once your containers are humming along, you need to tell PiSignage how to display the clock.

    Create the Weblink Asset

    1. Log in to your PiSignage Admin Panel.
    2. Navigate to Assets > Add > Weblink.
    3. Fill in the details:
      • Name: OpenHamClock
      • Link Address: https://<YOUR-HOSTNAME>:3000/?kiosk=true
    4. Click Save.

    Pro Tip: The ?kiosk=true suffix is critical. It tells HamClock to hide its own internal menus and headers, giving you a dedicated, high-contrast dashboard perfect for a wall-mounted display.

    Deploy to Your Player

    1. Go to Playlists and add your new “OpenHamClock” asset.
    2. Set the Duration: Set this to 0 for a permanent display, or a high number (like 300 for 5 minutes) if it’s part of a rotation.
    3. Go to Groups, select your player, and deploy the playlist.

    Your screen should refresh and show a beautiful, clean HamClock interface within seconds!

    Running PiSignage in Docker?

    For those of you looking to keep your entire server stack contained, running the PiSignage central server in Docker is the way to go. It keeps your host OS clean and makes management a breeze.

    If you’d like me to discuss how to set up a dockerized PiSignage server, please comment below!

    Call to Action

    Getting this stack to play nice wasn’t a “one-and-done” install. It was a hard-fought process that took multiple attempts to finally crack the code on bypassing those “What’s New” screens and forcing a clean kiosk display. But the victory is in the uptime.

    Don’t just lurk. If you’ve got the guts to show how you’re rebuilding your station on the wreckage of the old ways, drop a comment below. How are you occupying the victory today?

    Hi @rl_dane @sashin,
    naming the nice ones, I think of @artixlinux, @alpinelinux, @devuan, am I wrong?
    Still hoping for the BSDs @FreeBSDFoundation, @openbsdnow, @netbsd.
    Once the #mainstream goes mad, better be #niche.

    One full week under the keel running Alpine Linux on my primary workstation. Even set root on a ZFS mirror - simple to setup. First experience with rEFInd as well - I like it.

    Sharp and snappy, just like the way I like my cars! Ha!

    No new revelations compared to the first few weeks on the test workstation... I'm still tweaking some things for personalization as it happens but all good.

    The Alpine repos are full of good stuff and are current/up2date in a practical manner.

    The only flatpaks I've had to run are Waterfox, Signal Desktop and messing around with the new CoMaps Linux version (this exists - happy! happy! joy! joy!).

    I'm going to migrate my Debian Bookworm servers to Alpine when I get around to the upgrades. I'll keep clients on Debian for the foreseeable future.

    I'm not sure why I'm so excited about Alpine, it just feels like a breathe of fresh air! Modern and simple. Enjoying it.

    Dites masto, pour un vieux coucou en 32 bit. Intel Atom, ssd en mSata, ddr2 (oui bon...) Vous conseillé quoi comme distro légère ?

    Pas pour aller sur le net, mais plus comme un terminal, prise de note, lecture pdf/ebook ?

    Comme les dernières distro font l'impasse sur le 32 bit, je sais pas trop. Une ancienne distro #mxlinux ? Une #antixlinux ? Une #alpinelinux ? (Me proposez pas #raspbian). Je reste attaché à debian, apt et apt-get...

    Ended up kicking Docker Hardened Images to the curb.

    The good folks at #Docker decided to update their #Redis image to use a distro-less start (no shell, no other utilities) *without changing the image tag*.

    So when I started up my #Mastodon server after an upgrade, my customization script wouldn’t run in the container and I had to scramble to find an alternative.

    Basically, they broke the contract of immutable image version tags. Won’t trust them again, even if it did harden #security further.

    So this server is back to a good ol’ upstream #PostgreSQL image on #AlpineLinux. And #Valkey on #Alpine, too, because Redis Ltd..’s software licensing shenanigans are sketchy.
