Dear alpine devs,

Thanks a lot for the great work!

I tried to create a system so that an unmodified Alpine image would
self-install without user interaction, by passing a custom mini apkovl
archive.

I have tested this on libvirt+kvm in diskless mode, but it should work
pretty much on any platform where the apkovl can be passed in either
directly or via an extra block device.

My initial proof of concept is at:
https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/ultrotter/alpine-autosetup

Let me know if you have thoughts, or ideas!

Thanks a lot,

Guido
