Install PorkAlpine

Any other Alpine

To add PorkAlpine features to standard Alpine, see /repos.

Single-board computer (SBC) Downloads

To install to a Raspberry Pi, grab a microSD card 8GB or bigger and the disk image from the following device matrix:

SBC Model Download Link Cksum
Pi1, Pi0, Pi0W, Pi2 Download armhf pi image sha256
Pi3, Pi02W, Pi4, Pi5 Download aarch64 pi image sha256

Then, follow the flashing instructions for the operating system you are currently using:

And then come back here for details on WiFi setup and first-login.

Aside: a word on architecture. Strictly speaking, armhf should work on all RasPis. If for some reason you wanted to have one sd card for a pi3 or a pi0w and switch the card back and forth, you should be able to do so with armhf. There’s a tradeoff: Aarch64 should be noticeably faster.

SBC Testing

If you don’t see a checkmark in the tested column, it means I need you to help test the disk image!

SBC model Tested Architecture
Pi1 armhf
Pi0W armhf
Pi2 armhf
Pi3 aarch64
Pi02W aarch64
Pi4 aarch64
Pi5 aarch64

I would like to support other devices, but only have RasPis.

If you’re willing to suffer help, get in touch!

Pi0w and other slow RasPis are explicitly supported and will continue to be supported.

You can leave all features enabled, these things are hilariously powerful.
