I wrote up how my NAS is now just a big initramfs based on Alpine Linux.

It's been pretty great. Immutable, declarative, and very very simple. Just some files, a list of packages, and a short script.

Turns out you don't need overlays, or special DSLs. Or a rootfs!

frood, an Alpine initramfs NAS

My NAS is just one big initramfs containing a whole Alpine Linux system. It’s delightful. Here's why and how.

It's been a long while since I've felt I kept GNOME Software's APK plugin at the very end of my TODO-list. It means, right now the plugin works unreliably, and the once fast-and-simple experience in postmarketOS/alpine is not there anymore. If you want to help with it, today it's the day: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/16637

Fresh off the press: The builders finished building 3.21 and 3.21-rc1 has been tagged.

Please help testing it and report any issue on https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues

You can find the downloads at https://cdn.alpinelinux.org/v3.21/releases/

We appreciate all the help we received from the community in fixing the tons of build issues we experienced with 3.21. Without that we would still be struggling getting everything built.

@rubenerd hi, I recently read your post about trying Alpine Linux, from April this year, and wanted to both say that I enjoyed reading it and that your comment about uutils at the end pushed me in the direction of finally re-packaging uutils-coreutils to be installable as a drop-in replacement for GNU coreutils

musl libcJul 1, 2024

OpenSSH sshd on musl-based systems is not vulnerable to RCE via CVE-2024-6387 (regreSSHion).

This is because we do not use localtime in log timestamps and do not use dynamic allocation (because it could fail under memory pressure) for printf formatting.

While the sshd bug is UB (AS-unsafe syslog call from signal context), very deliberate decisions we made for other good reasons reduced the potential impact to deadlock taking a lock.
