Saving space: busybox instead of chronyd, dropbear instead of opensshĪfter setup, make sure dropbear is installed If you make a mistake during the install, you can always reimage and start over. ![]() Particularly when prompted with "No disks available, try boot media /mmcblk0p1". For the setup-alpine install, most of the choices will be the defaults.One partition that occupies the entire storage medium will suffice in diskless / sys mode. There is no need to make multiple partitions (e.g.Once the installation is complete, commit the changes by typing lbu commit -d Insert the SD card into the Raspberry Pi and turn it on for RPI4 with 2 or 4GB) or change otherĬonfig settings, do so in usercfg.txt now. If you plan to increase available RAM (e.g. I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytesĭevice Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type ![]() Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes The first partition must be a bootable, FAT filesystem.ĭisk /dev/sdb: 59.5 GiB, 63864569856 bytes, 124735488 sectors Use fdisk or gdisk to format the SD card. Although there is no requirement for it to be done this way). (Note that for sake of this guide, it's assumed the RPI is a RAM only install. These steps are duplicated from the Raspberry_Pi page. Note: the aarch64 build is not compatible with all Raspberry Pi models. armhf (as of v3.11) does not have firefox prepackaged in the base or community repo. 1GB may be enough for most needs.Īarch64 is used because firefox-esr is in the community repo. ![]() The 2GB RPI 4 has 1GB of ram available without adjusting /boot/config.txt. Due to the dependencies required to run X and Firefox, after this tutorial is complete there is very little RAM disk space for the user to operate in. aarch64 img (though this guide is also tested to be roughly x86-compatible).For earlier releases, please see history. This tutorial will go through setting up auto login, and starting X on boot without user interaction, useful as a kiosk or for digital signage.Ĭurrent revision rough tested with 3.17 (on x86). This is a guide for setting up a RAM based Alpine which is able to run X, and firefox. ![]()
