I hacked the latest Oracle Instant Client libraries (libocci.so and other crap) and SQL*Plus CLI (the most awful DB client ever), which are only distributed as binaries linked against glibc, to work on #musl libc and #AlpineLinux. It’s available in my https://github.com/jirutka/user-aports/. Packages: oracle-instantclient-oci, oracle-instantclient-sqplus, oracle-instantclient-dev etc.

I think I may go upgrading my #alpinelinux and #kali on my #lineage first, then go for #pmos.

Found a really cool tool today!

Isn't #AlpineLinux already free of GNU?

If you still need old #Ruby 2.7 for some legacy project that you cannot update to Ruby 3.x for some reason, I have someting for you. I’ve ported Ruby 2.7 to the latest stable #AlpineLinux 3.18 and OpenSSL 3 (replaced the default openssl gem with the latest). Packages are available in my user-aports https://github.com/jirutka/user-aports, the main package is named ruby2.

Use at your own risk, Ruby 2.7 is unsupported, so there are unpatched security bugs.

Proud to share that the QubesOS template builder for Alpine Linux is working. Here is the repo for any QubesOS users who'd like to try it out:
https://lab.ilot.io/ayakael/qubes-builder-alpine

Go to releases for RPMs installable on Qubes.

There's still a lot to do. For example, they can't really be used for system appvms, but I've been using a manually built template for a year, and it's been great!

I’ve updated the #deno package in #AlpineLinux to the latest version and moved it from testing to the community repository, so it will be included in the next stable release v3.19 (this autumn). It’s available for x86_64 and aarch64. #JavaScript

I need #MongoDB for one legacy project where I made the fatal mistake of using this piece of crap instead of a real database. The problem is that we’ve removed MongoDB from #AlpineLinux in v3.10 due to its license change. So I revitalised mongodb aport in my https://github.com/jirutka/user-aports. It’s the latest 4.x version (4.4.5), built for Alpine v3.18, pkgnames: mongodb4, mongodb4-shell. Use at your own risk.

@tdarb always nice to revive old laptops with #AlpineLinux. Have fun! :D

Taking a retro break after a couple of weekends and several evenings putting parts I've already ordered and received into their machines.

New project: a lightweight #kubernetes cluster built from 10 inexpensive and readily available Atom X5 thin clients with 2GB RAM and 8GB eMMC.

I think this might be that time I use #AlpineLinux for something other than containers with #K3s on top.

Then the question is: what is a satisfactory demo of 40 x64 cores that draws only 40 watts?

Every time I load up #alpinelinux I am always blown away by how lightweight yet extremely usable and featured it is, it has basically become my default for servers these days. Is anyone here daily driving a musl distro?

As you’d expect from me, my #Mastodon is running on #AlpineLinux. I’ve created a package for it: https://github.com/jirutka/user-aports/tree/master/user/mastodon.

Interesting fact: my “fat” container with Mastodon & Redis has 440 MiB in total (183 MiB is mastodon pkg w/ gems), their official docker image has 1.8 GiB!

#CCCamp23 learning: software projects are more eager to get into #nixpkgs rather than getting for example #AlpineLinux packages

@timrichards @gerrymcgovern @25kV I’ve got a (formerly) Windows 95 HP laptop running #AlpineLinux just for kicks, wanted to see if I could.

Alpine Linux è impossibile da installare. Gli installer grafici dovrebbero essere la norma.
