#Kuroko is now in the edge/community repo on #AlpineLinux and #postmarketOS officially!
I’m the sole maintainer of Kuroko on #Alpine!
Here’s me installing it on a fresh copy of #pmOS on a #Pixel3A to celebrate!
Thanks the person on my original #Mastodon post for convincing me and the Alpine #aports team.
I did #Fedi! The joke is now reality. Please #boost as this is a big achievement for me!!!

Well, I was going to say that I'm going to spend this evening configuring #sanoid... But it took about 5 minutes, and I hadn't realised I'd done it!
I got home from $dayjob today and decided to quickly get sanoid installed before dinner. I ran `apk add sanoid`, set the name of the dataset in the config file, and ran `lbu commit` to sync the ramdisk to the RPi3 SD card.
I came back to it a few hours later to find that it had already taken 5 snapshots. Very pleased!

Okay so I'm trying out #LuminaDesktop on #AlpineLinux and I can't seem to launch #Alacritty. It did however work in KDE Plasma :thonking:
I did notice KDE SystemMonitor mention not having hardware rendering, could that be the issue? I haven't tried starting alacritty from #XTerm to see what errors it spits out (its been a long day).
Also, I can't seem to add a Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut to open xterm (let alone alacritty) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I spent some time packaging #KDE's #KStars for #postmarketOS / #alpinelinux. It includes some tools (e.g. Ekos) that are very useful for #astrophotography e.g., for controlling a camera mounted on a telescope.
I hope this summer I can capture some light from my telescopes (re)using an old phone or something running Ekos!

TBF at @PyreneeLinux I'm putting a fair amount of time into creating the conversion script that changes a base #AlpineLinux install to a #PyreneeLinux desktop experience, but it shows there are a lot of people that are polishing Fedora.
It'll probably be at least a (few) year(s) before #PyreneeLinux will be *this* polished #KeepingItReal 🤘😎

I have a day off so of course I'm taking a #BusmansHoliday and rebuilding my home lab.
I didn't feel like fixing my PXE netboot setup so I hand installed #AlpineLinux off a USB/SATA adapter then #ansible and #k3s (#k8s) on the eight nodes. Took an hour and change (still less than futzing with PXE).

Want stable systems with stable UIs?
I do. 🤓Imagine you could (have had) the same UI since 1995?
yet with /all/ the bells and whistles of modern computing #updates.
without the disruptions of constant-changes where undesired?

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
socatandopenssl.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-stopped2. 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
- Log in to your PiSignage Admin Panel.
- Navigate to Assets > Add > Weblink.
- Fill in the details:
- Name: OpenHamClock
- Link Address:
https://<YOUR-HOSTNAME>:3000/?kiosk=true
- Click Save.
Pro Tip: The
?kiosk=truesuffix 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
- Go to Playlists and add your new “OpenHamClock” asset.
- Set the Duration: Set this to
0for a permanent display, or a high number (like300for 5 minutes) if it’s part of a rotation. - 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.
