Preparation
======================
.. contents:: Table of Contents
:local:
#. Disable Secure Boot. ZFS modules can not be loaded if Secure Boot is enabled.
#. Download latest extended variant of `Alpine Linux live image
<https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/releases/x86_64/>`__ and boot from it.
#. Login as root user. There is no password.
#. Configure Internet::
setup-interfaces -r
# example:
network interface: wlan0
WiFi name: <ssid>
ip address: dhcp
<enter done to finish network config>
manual netconfig: n
#. Configure SSH server::
setup-sshd
# example:
ssh server: openssh
allow root: "prohibit-password" or "yes"
ssh key: "none" or "<public key>"
Configurations set here will be copied verbatim to the installed system.
#. Set root password or ``/root/.ssh/authorized_keys``.
#. Connect from another computer::
ssh root@192.168.1.19
#. Throughout this guide, we use predictable disk names generated by udev::
apk add eudev
setup-udev
It can be removed after reboot with ``setup-devd mdev && apk del eudev``.
#. Target disk
List available disks with::
ls /dev/disk/by-id/*
If using virtio as disk bus, use ``/dev/disk/by-path/*``.
Declare disk array::
DISK='/dev/disk/by-id/ata-FOO /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-BAR'
For single disk installation, use::
DISK='/dev/disk/by-id/disk1'
#. Configure NTP client for time synchronization::
setup-ntp chrony
#. Pick a mirror from `Alpine Mirrors <https://mirrors.alpinelinux.org/>`__
and add it to package manager configuration::
tee -a /etc/apk/repositories <<EOF
https://dl-5.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community/
https://dl-5.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/main/
EOF
#. Install ZFS support and partition tool::
apk update
apk add zfs zfs-lts sgdisk e2fsprogs
modprobe zfs
Many errors about firmware will appear. They are safe to ignore.
#. Install bootloader for both legacy boot and UEFI::
apk add grub-bios grub-efi

System Installation

#. Partition the disks::
for i in ${DISK}; do
sgdisk --zap-all $i
sgdisk -n1:1M:+1G -t1:EF00 $i

test -z $INST_PARTSIZE_SWAP || sgdisk -n4:0:+${INST_PARTSIZE_SWAP}G -t4:8200 $i

#. Probe new partitions::
for i in ${DISK}; do
partprobe $i
done
udevadm settle
sync
#. Create boot partition::
for i in ${DISK}; do
mkfs.ext4 -F $i-part2
done
#. Create root pool::
zpool create \
-o ashift=12 \
-o autotrim=on \
-R /mnt \
-O acltype=posixacl \
-O canmount=off \
-O compression=zstd \
-O dnodesize=auto \

-O relatime=on \
-O xattr=sa \
-O mountpoint=/ \
rpool \
mirror \
$(for i in ${DISK}; do
printf "$i-part3 ";
done)
If not using a multi-disk setup, remove ``mirror``.
#. This section implements dataset layout as described in `overview <1-preparation.html>`__.
Create root system container:
- Unencrypted::
zfs create \
-o canmount=off \
-o mountpoint=none \
rpool/alpine
- Encrypted::
zfs create \
-o canmount=off \
-o mountpoint=none \
-o encryption=on \
-o keylocation=prompt \
-o keyformat=passphrase \
rpool/alpine
#. Create datasets::
zfs create -o canmount=on -o mountpoint=/ rpool/alpine/root
zfs create -o canmount=on -o mountpoint=/home rpool/alpine/home
zfs create -o canmount=off -o mountpoint=/var rpool/alpine/var
zfs create -o canmount=on rpool/alpine/var/lib
zfs create -o canmount=on rpool/alpine/var/log
#. Mount /boot::
mkdir -p /mnt/boot
mount -t ext4 $(echo $DISK | cut -f1 -d\ )-part2 /mnt/boot/
#. Format and mount ESP::
mkdir -p /mnt/boot/efi
mount -t vfat $(echo $DISK | cut -f1 -d\ )-part1 /mnt/boot/efi
#. By default ``setup-disk`` command does not support zfs and will refuse to run,
add zfs support::
sed -i 's|supported="ext|supported="zfs ext|g' /sbin/setup-disk
#. Workaround for GRUB to recognize predictable disk names::
export ZPOOL_VDEV_NAME_PATH=YES
#. Install system to disk::
BOOTLOADER=grub setup-disk -v /mnt
GRUB installation will fail and will be reinstalled later.
#. Chroot::
m='/dev /proc /sys'
for i in $m; do mount --rbind $i /mnt/$i; done
chroot /mnt /usr/bin/env DISK=$DISK sh
#. Apply GRUB workaround::
echo 'export ZPOOL_VDEV_NAME_PATH=YES' >> /etc/profile.d/zpool_vdev_name_path.sh
source /etc/profile.d/zpool_vdev_name_path.sh
sed -i "s|rpool=.*|rpool=rpool|" /etc/grub.d/10_linux
sed -i 's|stat -f -c %T /|echo zfs|' /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig
This workaround needs to be applied for every GRUB update, as the
update will overwrite the changes.
#. Generate GRUB menu::
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
#. Rebuild initrd::
mkdir -p /etc/zfs
rm -f /etc/zfs/zpool.cache
touch /etc/zfs/zpool.cache
chmod a-w /etc/zfs/zpool.cache
chattr +i /etc/zfs/zpool.cache
sed -i 's|zfs|nvme zfs|' /etc/mkinitfs/mkinitfs.conf
for directory in /lib/modules/*; do
kernel_version=$(basename $directory)
mkinitfs $kernel_version
done
#. Enable dataset mounting at boot::
rc-update add zfs-mount sysinit
#. Replace predictable disk path with traditional disk path:
For SATA drives::
sed -i 's|/dev/disk/by-id/ata-.*-part|/dev/sda|' /etc/fstab
For NVMe drives::
sed -i 's|/dev/disk/by-id/nvme-.*-part|/dev/nvme0n1p|' /etc/fstab
#. Mount datasets with zfsutil option::
sed -i 's|,posixacl|,zfsutil,posixacl|' /etc/fstab
#. Install GRUB::
export ZPOOL_VDEV_NAME_PATH=YES
for i in ${DISK}; do
grub-install --target=i386-pc $i
done
grub-install --target x86_64-efi --bootloader-id alpine --removable
#. Unmount filesystems::
exit
cut -f2 -d\ /proc/mounts | grep ^/mnt | tac | while read i; do umount -l $i; done
zpool export -a
#. Reboot::
poweroff
Disconnect the live media and other non-boot storage devices.
Due to missing support of predictable device names in initrd,
Alpine Linux will mount whichever disk appears to be /dev/sda or /dev/nvme0
at /boot and /boot/efi at boot.
Root filesystem at / is ZFS and imported via pool name thus not affected by the above restriction.
#. Post-install:
#. Setup mirroring of /boot partition and /boot/efi via dd.
#. Setup swap.
