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` script can be used to configure and build finit:
|
|
|
|
alpine:~# cd finit
|
|
alpine:~/finit# ./contrib/alpine/build.sh
|
|
alpine:~/finit# make 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. Samples are included in
|
|
this directory. Notice the symlinks in `/etc/finit.d/`, which can be
|
|
created 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.
