  @dustinc any chance of adding Alpine Linux 3.21 to the Racknerd ISO bank?

  Hopefully @dustinc see's all the buzz Alpine was generating here a day or 2 ago. I'd like to give it a try as well for its low resource usage on my next racknerd setup.

  Someone was talking about thr space it saved because thry used it

  Not only space, but also the memory consumption. Iirc, the Alpine Docker image is less than 5MB

  Wow, that is crazy.How does it even work

  Yeah, Alpine works really well & without all the bloat!

  If dustin hears out your request and adds it as a supported image i'll try it out. I like the point and click too much. Dont want to talk to someone just to reinstall

  You could always have support mount an ISO for you.

  Should I install Alpine Linux on my RackNerd vps?

  Yes, try and let me know as well. I wanna try that as wel.

  Well i will need to make a ticket for them to mount the iso haha!
  Alpine doesn't use a lot of resources, so the server can use more

  Oh yes. Currently have the webserver on Ubuntu. Have a Docker container with Alpine to test some stuff out. If all goes well. Will move everything to Alpine soon.

  Sounds like alpine may be the hot new thing

  It has been quite for some time now. Realised that only after the experts on the thread pointed it out

  I had never even heard of it, but i've always limited myself to looking at the bigger distributions, if you will

  Me as well. I used Alpine sparingly in the past for chroots and for building busybox packages. But, never knew it had the potential to run something serious or big like a webserver.

  Nextcloud and Matrix servers run really well on Alpine. I have not tried it on the desktop yet, but will eventually.

  The prize pool and participation has exponentially increased on RackNerd threads over the years.

  That's great to hear.There are so many awesome prizes out there.That rack nerd keeps giving away

  Yup. Dustin even randomly gave away some motherboards, CPUs and RAM sticks, iirc.

  That would be a great GA

  Alpine is great. used it to revive a dead 128Mb VM a while ago. Non host supported images worked anymore. Fucking cool.

  Put it on your desktop PC w/ a gui front end? Or do you mean just putting it on a "desktop" pc?

  Good, cause RackNerd support is pretty quick.

  Just got a reply. Took them about 15 minutes haha

  Yah, most of us are used to those quick times at RackNerd. BTW, do they install it or just load the ISO?

  They only load the ISO. You need to install it by yourself. Installing it ins't very hard.

  Yah I was just curious. Guessing you have to do it with eh VNC console.

  Yes

  That's good. Anyways, let us know of your experience once it's done. Also, what are you gonna host on Alpine?

  Probably a simple website using nginx

  Check the lemp stack for Docker that I posted before. Might help.

  or i could just do apk add nginx

  apk is your friend

  Yep we are coming in hot hot hot!

  Let's get to 700 soon

  It's gonna happen tonight!

  Oh yes. Witha few more people within the next hour or ao

  Less than an hour I think

  Ready for the challenge then? I am on my phone.

  That's gotta be hard, but you seem to be managing well

  Yup, with constant typing, my typing speeds on phone has improved as well. Thanks to auto correct, lesser typos as well.

  I feel like I can't type on phones. Auto correct seems to have gotten worse for whatever reason

  I don't usually do typing on my phone, but this RN thread I started doing it. I don't love it but don't hate it either.

  I'm not a fan of typing on mobile personally

  I hate typing on phones

  That works as well.

  nginx is the way to go hands down. Tried a few others but i always come back to nginx

  I remember when Apache was the king, but I also prefer nginx. There's also caddy, traefik, and HAProxy as other options.
