To turn Alpine into postmarketOS:
- Install Alpine Linux
- Add this key as a file called "build.postmarketos.org.rsa.pub" into
/etc/apk/keys
- Add this mirror to the top of
/etc/apk/repositories
:
http://postmarketos.brixit.nl/postmarketos/master
- Use your device package kernel for your device: (skip this if installing onto a desktop\laptop computer)
apk add -u postmarketos-base device-nokia-n900
- Install the packages for the UI you want, for example:
apk add -u postmarketos-ui-xfce4
or
apk add -u postmarketos-ui-weston
(Use device-qemu-amd64
for a x86_64 virtual machine installation, but this will also install a kernel -- maybe it makes sense to introduce a new "docker device" without any kernel, you could experiment with that if you want.)
If you want to use the postmarketOS initramfs, make sure that you adjust the partition labels accordingly.
