HowTo: Finit on Alpine Linux 3.4-3.6
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
HowTo use Finit to boot an [Alpine Linux][] system. It is assumed that
|
|
the user has already installed make, a compiler, C library header files,
|
|
and other tools needed to build a GNU configure based project.
|
|
|
|
To start with you need to first install [libuEv][] and [libite][]. They
|
|
default to install to `/usr/local`, but unlike Debian and Ubuntu based
|
|
distros, Alpine's `pkg-config` does not look for libraries and header
|
|
files there. So the `PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR` environment variable must be
|
|
used, or change the install prefix to `/usr`.
|
|
|
|
The bundled [build.sh](build.sh) script can be used to configure and
|
|
build finit:
|
|
|
|
alpine:~# cd finit
|
|
alpine:~/finit# ./contrib/alpine/build.sh
|
|
|
|
Then run the [install.sh](install.sh) script to install all necessary
|
|
files, including the sample `finit.conf` and `finit.d/*.conf` files.
|
|
More on that below.
|
|
|
|
alpine:~/finit# ./contrib/alpine/install.sh
|
|
|
|
The install script is non-destructive by default, you have to answer
|
|
*Yes* twice to set up Finit as the system default init. Pay close
|
|
attention to the last question:
|
|
|
|
*** Install Finit as the system default Init (y/N)?
|
|
|
|
If you answer `No`, simply by pressing enter, you can change the symlink
|
|
yourself later on, to point to `finit` instead of `/bin/busybox`:
|
|
|
|
alpine:~/finit# cd /sbin
|
|
alpine:/sbin# rm init
|
|
alpine:/sbin# ln -s finit init
|
|
|
|
Before rebooting, make sure to set up a [/etc/finit.conf](finit.conf),
|
|
and [/etc/finit.d/](finit.d/) for your services. Samples are included
|
|
in this directory. Notice the symlinks in `/etc/finit.d/`, which can be
|
|
managed by the operator at runtime using `initctl enable SERVICE`. You
|
|
can also use a standard [/etc/rc.local](rc.local) for one-shot tasks and
|
|
initialization like keyboard language etc.
