HowTo: Finit on Alpine Linux 3.4-3.6
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
Mini HowTo using Finit to boot an Alpine Linux system. It is assumed
|
|
that the user has already installed 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][], by
|
|
default they install to `/usr/local` and Alpine's `pkg-config` does not
|
|
look for libraries and header files there. So the `PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR`
|
|
environment variable must be used:
|
|
|
|
alpine:~/finit# PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure \
|
|
--enable-rw-rootfs --enable-progress \
|
|
--enable-dbus-plugin --enable-x11-common-plugin \
|
|
--enable-alsa-utils-plugin --enable-inetd-echo-plugin \
|
|
--enable-inetd-chargen-plugin --enable-inetd-daytime-plugin \
|
|
--enable-inetd-discard-plugin --enable-inetd-time-plugin \
|
|
--with-heading="Alpine Linux 3.6" --with-hostname=alpine
|
|
|
|
The plugins are optional, but you may need D-Bus and X11 if you want to
|
|
run X-Window, the other configure flags are however required.
|
|
|
|
alpine:~/finit# make all install
|
|
|
|
The installation skips `/sbin/init`, because it already exists, and
|
|
Alpine is hard coded to use it. So you have to change the symlink
|
|
yourself 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, possibly also an
|
|
[/etc/rc.local](rc.local) for one-shot set up and initialization like
|
|
keyboard language etc. You can use the files in this directory as
|
|
templates -- check them both if they need to be tweaked for your
|
|
installation, you may not run Dropbear SSH or speak Swedish ...
