How to Install Alpine Linux In VirtualBox

[@Superlampshade27]

spent almost like a week trying to wrestle gentoo onto an old ass server I inhereted with a VIA C3 cpu on it. Followed this and I got an os installed in about 7 minutes. thank u bro. I feel like I'm typing like a 50 year old

[@TheoParis]

Lol

[@i24k3]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 💀 so i wasn't the only one ... i struggled with arch (installed and reinstalled it about 7 times and broke it 2-3 times )yep , so asked gpt like this and this are my requirements, recommend me a distro and here we are (hopefully it will work)

[@LewisCampbellTech]

thanks so much for this. I was banging my head against the wall figuring out how to get 'startx' working with alpine in virtualbox

Mozilla Firefox is now part of Alpine Linux 3.12 community repository.

[@randgrithr7387]

Ew

[@phoneticalballsack]

who asked!

[@glowiak3430]

1:98 This is the iso for installing from internet (like debian's netinst). I preffer the 'extended' iso, which gives way to do a setup without internet connection.

[@DevilDriver665]

free -m was the command you've searched probably ;-) Yould be nice to see the ram usage after a fresh start.

[@celestialbeing4767]

Damn I missed this, a full year ago. Screen resolution is small for my taste. Glad to see this below radar distro is being looked at. Not used to using openrc. Looking at devaun linux. Using virtual box to play with to navigate or explore it. Definitely going to explore alternative distros. Alpine on the list as well.

[@Techonsapevole]

Gnome 3.36 on AlpineLinux is 615mb if I remember well. Not much less than the other distros

[@wp6007]

xfce on minimal debian uses over 400

[@mangenshinobi1567]

that's very good 😃 but saddly no gnome 40 yet 😐

[@MarcMcRae]

IN-ter-estin..yeah first time playing around with Alpine install on KVM. Missing some icons but it's working. Alpine's size & speed really has potential. Wonder if there's a media player project someplace?

[@replikvltyoutube3727]

Lived about 3 month on Alpine, overall great experience. Used it with dwm, firefox worked, java (and minecraft worked) I've also decided to go with plan9port and switch from dwm to rio. Can't say it was easy and interface of bot dwm and rio are just a little not my cup of tea, but it worked, and did so well. The deciding part of switching from it was that uni required to run some windows app and I tried to use plain qemu (because virt-manager was not built for it) but it didn't quite work out for me, so I had to change distro. Now they seems to have a GNOME desktop version test and that's great news, as much as GNOME is javascript bloat, it looks quite cool IMO. Of course not without a few hiccups with wifi, I resorted to use NetworkManager and it was buggy and didn't want to connect to my weird uni wifi.

@@zyan983 ah yes, thank you for questioning that, the point that I forgot to tell and a pretty major one. Lutris itself would work on Alpine because it is a Python 3 application, however WINE wouldn't work sadly... nor does Steam and for one simple reason - no multilib. Not sure if it is limitation of musl or supporting it isn't in scope of the project, but it doesn't work. Perhaps both steam and wine both can run on a 32bit version of alpine, however most people probably don't want to use that (but it can run on a 64bit system)

[@replikvltyoutube3727]

@@zyan983 umm, i think wine is 64bit version only, and you theoretically can run 64 bit apps on it, but most windows programs require both 32bit and 64 bit

[@Abhishek_Pal]

Hey there, thanks for the quick tut, however, when I do apk add alpine-desktop, it says unsatisfiable constraints. alpine-desktop (missing): required by: world[alpine-desktop]. Any suggestions? Searched the web already!

[@syedfarhan8451]

Everything went as planned except for the fact that i cannot see any thumbnails or icons. The Desktop icons, icons inside the file manager or any icons for that matter. What can i do to fix that?

[@zerozer0s123]

sorry if this is dumb, im really a linux noob, but this worked perfectly up to when you say to run "apk add alpine-desktop", I dont have any package called "alpine-desktop", and therfore I cant add it obviously lol. what do you think the problem might be

[@amarakon1243]

Same, I also have this issue.

Alpine doesnt come with nano it comes with vi.

[@75hilmar]

This is a nice beginning but not very beginner friendly. Or maybe it is because I am a few years too late...

Your description sounds like a middle finger to Stallman and his "interjections" ... I Approve.
