This is a system install of Alpine linux for Raspberry Pi 2B, 3B, 3B+ and 4 image ready to burn to an SD card via balenaEtcher (there's no need to gunzip image).
If you prefer the command line, you can use dd
and gzip
:
gzip -dc /path/to/your/image.gz | sudo dd bs=4M of=/dev/sdX
The image automatically setup and configures:
- root user [pwd: raspberry]
- pi user [pwd: raspberry]
- ethernet
- wifi (edit
wpa_supplicant.conf
in the boot partition, on first boot it will be copied) - bluetooth
- avahi
- swap
- openssh server
- root partition auto-expand on first boot
- docker
- portainer
I wanted a board where all the software on it is containerized and easy to restore.
Also, with Portainer, I can keep the entire system under control with a web GUI.
