Subject: Alpine build server setup?

Hi,

I want to set up a private build server/repository for packages that need customization. It is not hard to setup something makeshift that would work, but if there is an offical Alpine way to configure such system, I would like to follow that.

This is the documentation I have found:

https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Setting_up_a_compile_vserver_for_third_party_packages
https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/User:Ncopa/buildserver

The first setup uses Linux-VServer which is not available in Alpine anymore, the second uses LXC but still might be outdated as it is almost 6 years old.

Are there any up-to-date information on setting up an Alpine build server?

Regards,
Mogens Jensen

Would be good to have the documentation updated, perhaps using docker.

To setup LXD in Alpine see:

https://lunar.computer/posts/lxd-alpine/

To create a container:

lxc launch images:alpine/3.12 container-name

To access an Alpine LXD container console use something like:

lxc exec container-name ash
