# Howto: Deploy Alpine Linux on a headless Raspberry Pi

## Deprecated 2022-07-18

This repo is now deprecated in favor of https://github.com/macmpi/alpine-linux-headless-bootstrap

## Readme

The [Alpine Linux

documentation](https://docs.alpinelinux.org/user-handbook/0.1a/Installing/setup_alpine.html)

assumes you have a way to access your system directly, such as via a display

and keyboard. However, there are many cases where you might want to deploy a

headless box, such as on a Raspberry Pi connected via ethernet (or wifi).

There are instructions out there for how to install [Alpine Linux on a

Raspberry Pi](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi), including how to

deploy on a [headless Raspberry

Pi](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi_-_Headless_Installation),

but I found them to be somewhat out of date and inconsistent. 

This repo packages the overaly file in a repo for version control. The full instructions

are in the [Alpine Wiki

instructions](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi_-_Headless_Installation).

## Credits

Thanks for the original instructions from the [Alpine Wiki user

sodface](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/w/index.php?title=Raspberry_Pi_-_Headless_Installation&action=history),

who also hosted the overlay files on their website

([download](http://www.sodface.com/repo/headless.apkovl.tar.gz)). I expanded

and updated these instructions and then added them to GitHub so they can be

easily accessed.
