This custom image provides Alpine Linux for Raspberry Pi (4 + 5) with fully configured xfce desktop
- a fully configured xfce desktop environment, out of the box.
- basic system utils, ufw with defaults, network-manager, librewolf, mpv, ffmpeg, fastfetch, pipewire, python etc.
- automatic resizing of your sdcard and generation of ssh keys on firstboot
- bash as main shell
- DOOM + SameBoy
please be aware that:
- this is in BETA
- i do this because i have fun with it, i ain't getting paid bro. if something breaks, let me know, and i'll see if i find time.
on first booting the system, it automatically generates new ssh keys and also reboots once to finish resizing your sd-card.
don't be alarmed, this is expected.

- RASPBERRY PI 5 / 500

- plug in your sdcard, but don't mount it
- open gnome-disks & choose "Restore Disk Image"
- navigate to the image
- flash image to sdcard
- plug in your sdcard, but don't mount it
- use fdisk -l to find out what drive letter it has
- then, fill in the blanks:
xz -dkc /path/to/img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblkX bs=512
================================================
if you for some reason don't trust the image or want to make your own version, feel free to do so using the setup scripts.
- download bootstrap.sh and put it on a usb drive
- get the alpine stock image and flash it to your sdcard
- boot the stock image and mount your usb drive
- make sure you have a LAN cable plugged in
- execute bootstap.sh
this will then automagically:
- install the base system for u
- pull in setup.sh and put it in the root crontab
- reboot
- execute setup.sh, which will put everything else in place
should you want to package your image, you can do so with mkalpimg.sh
If you find a bug, or have a suggestion, don't hesitate to let me know.
THANKS TO EVERYONE WRITING SOFTWARE ON/WITH/FOR ALPINE LINUX !!
