> A rootless Android app that boots Alpine Linux: run containers (Podman/Docker/LXC) and GUI desktop apps.
Run Linux containers and a full Linux desktop on your Android phone. No root.
A real Alpine Linux VM with its own kernel - not a chroot or proot trick - so Podman, Docker and LXC behave exactly like they do on a server.

... and Alpine Linux 3.24 is now also available on ipv6onlyhosting.com - for a slim OS with no legacy IPv4 coming with it. Pretty, isn't it? #alpinelinux #datacenterlight
... and with a slight delay, we are happy to announce that Alpine Linux 3.24 is now available on datacenterlight.ch. Enjoy! #alpinelinux @alpinelinux

RustNet 1.7.0 is now in Alpine Linux edge’s community repository! 🎉
Thanks to omni for packaging it. RustNet shows network connections, traffic and the processes behind them, right in your terminal.
@alpinelinux now has a new "Documentation Team" lead: @whynothugo

Oh ho! apk upgrade just updated the linux-stable kernel from 7.1.5 to 7.2.9. I was just wondering about this in the morning.
Time to retest the RDNA3 GPU... maybe next week when I'm not on vacation and slaving on the garden folly. Ha.
Finally turned attention to getting Immich up and running tonight. I like it, seems snappy enough with tens of thousands of photos imported.
The Immich website has a handy form driven page for generating a docker compose file so it took like 30 seconds to get it running once mutated to follow my way of doing things on my server (persistent storage, naming, cert proxy, etc).
I struggled a bit with using the Immich command line tool to import my photo collection and in the process of trying to figure out why --recursive didn't work, stumbled upon the immich-go project on github. It's also a command line tool and works very well; immediately was able to recursively import photos, etc. Compiles cleanly on Alpine Linux (ofc, it's just golang).
Immich-go has a migrate function that allows you to connect to one Immich server and copy the files to another Immich server (but no 'delete source' as far as I could tell).
I set up a second Immich instance on a different port and started to use the migrate function to finally start moving all the photos of my computer electronics and vehicle technical projects out of the whole household's photo collection. My wife will appreciate that. Ha. Managed to split out 2026-2025, only ~25 more years to go. Ugh.
Anyway, Immich (the server) and Immich-go (the CLI tool) are cool. Recommended.
Fun!

Were any of the talks from the postmarketOS and Alpine Linux conference 2026 posted anywhere?
Later today we will publish the Alpine Linux 3.24 on datacenterlight.ch so that you can get a fresh Alpine Linux hosted in Switzerland. Behind that release is quite a big news, which we will share in the next hours. @alpinelinux #alpinelinux #swiss
Still going through Guix, Gentoo and Alpine Linux. Right now most things about Alpine look very tempting to me. Its speed and lightness (of everything, including system install, package management and in use), its neatness and uncomplicated stack. And it has a stable branch which is great. I hope they get a very strict or no-AI policy :-S
I have so many issues with #unbound on my laptop while travelling that I'm tempted to port #unwind from #openbsd to #alpinelinux.
Please help, I already have too many projects.
Has anyone sucessfully used openrsync on Alpine Linux? I have been trying to use it but it keeps failing after a while with "bad fd" and other errors. Switching to rsync seems to have worked fine.
openrsync -av /mnt/red/* /mnt/redbackup --rsync-path=/usr/bin/openrsync --delete
That is the command I was trying to run that kept failing, and worked fine once I switched to rsync.

Dabbling with #guix and #alpinelinux, might as well add #gentoo (it's been around 20 years since i last used it).
I guess I hadn't looked at photos since migrating to Alpine Linux lately.
Does anyone have HEIC (i.e. Apple) formatted images working correctly under Alpine?
I've installed libheif, kimageformats and anything remotely libheif related in the repo but Gwenview still doesn't display HEIC images. Neither does Shotwell.
I installed Ristretto to compare and it also doesn't display HEIC images.
GIMP works as does Darktable.
Dolphin displays the thumbnails properly but the preview pane doesn't work.
Ideas? Kinda pulling my hair out and out of options.

I've been fussing around with Labwc a bit. The out of the box Labwc config on Alpine is very minimal. Labwc uses Openbox themes, but before I go down that rabbit hole I want to explore CoW.
Following the build instructions "bouncing ball" on both the river and CoW Codeberg pages resulted in success with CoW selectable and launch-able in sddm with zero dramas.
Clicking on the empty desktop and getting the minimalist CoW (fvwm!) menu to appear for the first time was a bit of a comfy old shoe moment. Ha.
Thanks River and @thomasadam !
Now the fun, hard, and time consuming part: making CoW look the way I want it to look and selecting tools to flesh out the rest of the desktop.
I did go looking for some of my old fvwm configs in my code repo but I guess I never saved my desktop configs - just my carputer stuff. 2008 was a long time ago. Oh well.
Fun!

Looks like #alpinelinux has decided not to ban LLM 'contributions'. Policy hasn't been finalised yet but presumably it's going to be some sort of fantasist nonsense about 'responsible' AI usage.

Struggling to get cupsd to print on #alpinelinux I have the network printer discovered/showing, the correct .ppd file, but nothing happens when I go to print test page. Have to add printer from localhost:631 If I try and add from kde printer config I get an improper name error. Anybody attempt this? For reference its a canon mf632...works fine from my fedora laptop. Maybe need rasteroufr2? Not sure with alpine...why tf is printer setup so nonsensical in Linux 🙄🙃
I wondered where #AlpineLinux sat on the #LLM fence. Now I know.

LLM commits permitted in their package ports at least. So far their core remains clean, but for how long?
Alpine Linux stable releases are out:
- 3.21.8
- 3.22.6
- 3.23.6
- 3.24.2

Home Assistant Docker: mDNS unter Alpine Linux reparieren
Nach dem Umzug von Home Assistant in einen Docker-Container scheitert oft die mDNS-Namensauflösung für .local-Adressen. So richtest du mDNS wieder ein.

Latest screenshot. Still rockin' the RDNA2 GPU; should try the RDNA3 one again, there's been a whack of kernel updates.
Things you don't think about before getting a drawing tablet...
I've setup the drawing tablet to the left of my keyboard so I can spin either way depending on what I am doing. My keyboard is on the desk in front/under the right large screen.
My two main screens are on monitor arms from behind and the small screen placed in this orientation gives mouse navigation a smooth, natural (i.e. visual) usage path.
I'm right handed so this works for me - for now. Perhaps it'll change around the more into it I go.
Oh, and if anyone was wondering - works great with GIMP too!

RE: https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/117168252914591911
I was finally motivated to pick up one of these devices after reading David's review.
Just got it working under Alpine Linux - the default driver stuff works as referenced on his website. I'll need to dig into this further to see what customization I want.
The device itself has a great feel, has a feeling of quality. I got a boring black one and it coordinates with my cheap and cheerful keyboard I mentioned the other week. Ha.
Anyway, never had one of these drawing devices before - learning curve inbound I expect.
Finally got around to setting up #neovim to render man pages. It’s trivial to get the default going, but if you’ve got the keyboard shortcuts for less burned into your mind and demand a non-cluttered view, some tweaks are required. I've captured my configs. Tested in #FreeBSD, #AlpineLinux, #macOS, and #Debian.
Äh, helkutin tyhmää… #PiHole'n virallinen asennustapa on putkittaa #curl'in tuloste #Bash'iin. Siis ottiatuota että mitä, jollei nyt välitetä tuon vaarallisuudestakaan niin miksi *Bashiin* eikä #POSIX-yhteensopivaan komentotulkkiin?! Ensin ilmoittavat sivuillaan #AlpineLinux'in olevan virallisesti tuettu, mutta sitten eivät edes vaivaudu huomaamaan, että Alpinessa ei oletusasennuksessa ole Bashia. Ääh. Täytynee kokeilla asentaa toiselle µSD-kortille jokin *buntu vaikka. #atkjuttuja
Apropos the latest 1Password and Debian debacles:
I'm running Vaultwarden and Caddy under Alpine Linux on a Raspberry Pi 5. Memory usage is 200 MB. Connections from outside my network through WireGuard on the router.

ifstate 2.4.2 + 2.3.1 - a tool for declarative network configuration for Linux - were released:
https://
codeberg.org/routerkit/ifstate/releases/tag/2.4.2
https://
codeberg.org/routerkit/ifstate/releases/tag/2.3.1
The releases primarily fix some minor bugs and improves the documentation. Ifstate 2.4.2 is already available in Alpine Linux 3.24.
