On armv7, I am trying to get dwm running.

There is no input group and after startx, keyboard and mouse don't work. Is there some other group with which inputs can be given?

The groups of root are 
root bin daemon sys adm disk wheel floppy dialout tape video

There is no input group as far as I can see.

The input group should exist by default. In a clean docker alpine:edge
container:

  # getent group input
  input:x:23

Note that root does not necessarily need to be part of that group. Have you
tried to add your user to that group?

  adduser <username> input
