I love alpine, it's such a good fit when building rootfs for embedded devices with limited ram/rom. however I wish there can be a nixOS-like way to manage my configurations.
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoIt seems like this is more likely to happen by getting nixos smaller than making Alpine declarative.
- vereis 5y agoIt isn't perfect but I just end up installing nix (the package manager) and home-manager and hacking together my configuration through that. The majority of my NixOS configuration is written in NixOS agnostic modules so it works pretty well. I share my NixOS configurations between one bare metal Alpine install as well as an Alpine WSL2 install.
- nenolod 5y agoWe are actually in the design phase for a declarative variant of Alpine using OSTree.
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoThat sounds fun; is anything public yet / where should I watch for announcements?
- nenolod 5y agoIf all goes to plan it will be part of Alpine 3.15 as a release variant.
