I have ALIX3D3 System Board , with 8GB CF card 2013-12-25 09:36:36 Actually i need to Bootstrapp on CF as I dont have external CD/DVD ROM 2013-12-25 12:07:24 Are there no anymore usbdrive tarball for bootstrapping? 2013-12-25 12:08:24 crow, we ship the iso only currently. you can use setup-bootable, or unetbootin to create the usb stick 2013-12-25 12:10:40 fabled is that script in iso also? My problem is that I need to use laptop to setup this CF for ALIX3D3 as i dont have USB CD/DVD ROM or empty disk to burn and install on this laptop to CF as target.. 2013-12-25 12:11:04 setup-bootable is standard alpine script. you need alpine installation to use it. 2013-12-25 12:11:16 unetbootin is multiplatform wizard to create usb stick from .iso files. 2013-12-25 12:15:12 fabled ok let me try it. What i want is to install to CF and use that CF as boot device, but to run-from-ram, and in case of chages to save it to that CF. 2013-12-25 12:15:18 for next reboot 2013-12-25 12:15:28 yes, i do that with my alix boxes here 2013-12-25 12:15:48 fabled you have ALIX 3D3 one to? 2013-12-25 12:15:50 i use http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ to create the initial CF from .iso 2013-12-25 12:41:07 fabled is dhcp default enabled? without screen and serial cable i cant access alix, and on dhcp server i dont see any request 2013-12-25 12:53:40 crow, dhcpc is not enabled per-default 2013-12-25 12:53:52 i think we had overlay file for that somewhere 2013-12-25 12:54:05 ncopa_, might be an idea to ship overlay somewhere that enable dhcp 2013-12-25 12:55:37 hi 2013-12-25 12:55:47 hm 2013-12-25 12:56:19 the overlay would need enable dhcp and start sshd 2013-12-25 12:57:18 we'd need ssh key too 2013-12-25 12:57:19 hm 2013-12-25 12:57:27 how about a webserver that generates a such apkovl? 2013-12-25 12:57:30 crow, i have mostly alix.2d2 or 6f2 2013-12-25 12:57:37 web service 2013-12-25 12:57:38 ncopa, sshd init.d autogenerates new ssh key 2013-12-25 12:58:05 so we need apkovl with network/interfaces and sshd autostart + appropriate apk/world 2013-12-25 12:58:16 and edge pkglist should be updated to include ssh 2013-12-25 12:58:25 i was thinking, installing the pub key to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys 2013-12-25 12:59:40 what interface should it use? eth0? 2013-12-25 12:59:58 we could also run dhcpcd, which enables dhcp on all interfaces 2013-12-25 13:00:41 yeah, openssh should be added to edge pkg list 2013-12-25 13:18:04 fabled ok then I will need to setup a monitor and keyboard to it to be able to configure. Will need to wait two days :(. 2013-12-25 13:18:24 I second that about dhcpcd on all interface, + openssh. 2013-12-25 13:19:18 as right now i dont know how to configure alpinelinux on alix 3d3 ( i dont have an Monitor or serial cable for console). 2013-12-25 15:25:51 crow: you could also boot the iso in a vm, setup dhcp networking, add your ssh key there and setup openssh and then do: lbu package 2013-12-25 15:26:07 it will create a .apkovl.tar.gz file 2013-12-25 15:26:35 put that file on the boot media for your alix, and it will boot up with the config you created in the vm 2013-12-25 15:30:34 ncopa thank you for the hint. i will try it. can you be more specific where on boot media? (it is only one fat32 partition) 2013-12-25 15:36:40 on the root 2013-12-25 15:40:09 i could even use CF on VM, do passthrough to vm and use it as destination media, and boot that VM with iso. 2013-12-25 16:09:04 : @ncopa 2013-12-25 16:09:22 finally I found the init q solution. 2013-12-25 16:09:30 must be done this way 2013-12-25 16:09:34 kill -sHUP 1 2013-12-25 16:09:41 works. 2013-12-25 16:09:55 btw I got it from the busybox init source code. 2013-12-25 16:27:17 hi 2013-12-25 16:27:29 I am using zsh and alpine 2.7.2 and have still this error: http://bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/2289 2013-12-25 16:27:32 #2289 2013-12-25 16:31:41 fuck, Ok:( 2013-12-25 16:32:54 repository was still on 2.6, lol 2013-12-25 16:33:20 apk should get something like "apk doctor" :) 2013-12-25 16:54:05 how can I check, on which package requires tzdata? 2013-12-25 17:12:04 partition created with setup-alpine does not end on cylinder boundary, why is this? 2013-12-25 17:24:58 crow: I thought, you want to run from tmpfs? 2013-12-25 17:46:26 shafire well i just folowed that setup-alpine. i was not able to create corrrect CF media with unetbootin 2013-12-25 17:46:45 and i selected sys. 2013-12-25 17:46:54 seems i did it wrong? 2013-12-25 17:57:40 crow: you want to use setup-bootable 2013-12-25 17:57:49 that will create you a bootable usb stick 2013-12-25 17:58:17 (or bootable cf media) 2013-12-25 17:59:14 1. boot alpine 2013-12-25 17:59:20 2. download the iso 2013-12-25 17:59:28 3. mount the iso 2013-12-25 17:59:35 4. mount your dest. device 2013-12-25 17:59:54 5. setup-bootable /media/cdrom /media/dest. 2013-12-25 18:01:35 Are up statements in /etc/network/interfaces different in Alpine Linux?

What I don't follow entirely are the init scripts, I've never had to write one until now. I'm trying to get ZNC running, but it doesn't seem to come with a script for use with openrc by default. 2013-12-26 00:42:37 Does Alpine support libval? I'm having problems compiling something because of missing headers. 2013-12-26 00:43:15 eh that's totally not how I wanted to phrase that 2013-12-26 01:38:32 to darkfaded: finaly i managed to switch from pvm to hvm and after solving vnc issue it's working 2013-12-26 04:23:46 where can i find cyrus sasl sql plugin ? 2013-12-26 10:08:10 hi 2013-12-26 10:08:10 I am getting following error when starting network... ip rtnetlink answers file exists 2013-12-26 10:12:26 mostly because of ipv6 :S 2013-12-26 10:28:40 How can I check, if openntpd works? :S 2013-12-26 10:50:30 hi, checked out the alpine mirroring instructions but couldn't see a size estimate for required disk space...anyone know? 2013-12-26 10:52:20 http://mirror1.hs-esslingen.de/info/status.php4?details=83 2013-12-26 10:53:34 I think, full mirror about 140gb 2013-12-26 10:58:09 thanks shafire! 2013-12-26 11:42:37 shafire what i read is that openntpd is not anymore linux maintened, archlinux use ntpd, and there you could use ntpd -q to see status, sorry that this does not answer your question regarding openntpd 2013-12-26 11:49:35 The NTP Project provides a reference implementation of the protocol called simply NTP. An alternative to NTP is Chrony, a dial-up friendly and specifically designed for systems that are not online all the time, and OpenNTPD, part of the OpenBSD project and currently not maintained for Linux. 2013-12-26 11:56:37 Ok, thanks 2013-12-26 12:08:20 maybe is time to make this avaiable on alpinelinux https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/ntp 2013-12-26 12:12:41 yes! 2013-12-26 12:12:46 ncopa: ^ 2013-12-26 12:27:44 the problem with openntpd is, I can not check, if its working? no logs anywhere 2013-12-26 12:36:29 Thu:52 13:35:19 root:alpine-oh96~# ntpd -s -d ntp engine ready no reply received in time, skipping initial time setting 2013-12-26 12:36:31 but why? :S 2013-12-26 13:12:18 shafire: i use chrony on the alpine boxes it appears also to have no monitoring worth a damn 2013-12-26 13:38:56 I deleted openntpd 2013-12-26 13:39:00 busybox ntp worked, lol 2013-12-26 13:39:03 :) 2013-12-26 15:03:04 what is enough for alpine installation on hdd?

(and yes, I know - but the same thing still applies with any distro, get to know how it boots and you can modify it to boot pretty much anything) 2013-12-27 16:42:57 can lbu just revert one file? 2013-12-27 16:46:01 shafire: lbu package is just a tar.gz, so yes 2013-12-27 16:46:12 you'd use the tar utility for the revert in that case though 2013-12-27 23:02:19 n8@all 2013-12-28 14:00:49 is there gptfdisk package in alpinelinux? 2013-12-28 14:01:43 seems i cant find any packages with *gpt* using http://alpinelinux.org/packages 2013-12-28 14:02:04 would be nice to have with alpine https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/gptfdisk 2013-12-28 14:41:28 crow: can you file a package request for it at the bugs.alpinelinux.org site? whats the difference to using parted? 2013-12-28 14:48:33 hi 2013-12-28 14:48:57 hwclock uses localtime as utc time, how can I change that? 2013-12-28 14:52:49 -u Assume hardware clock is kept in UTC 2013-12-28 14:52:50
