WizOS: A New Enterprise Linux Built on Alpine’s Secure Foundation

｢ WizOS is engineered to address the persistent challenge of inherited vulnerabilities in container-based images. By adopting WizOS, enterprises can leverage a minimal, near-zero Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) base image, ensuring that deployments are not halted by security flaws in shared components ｣

#AlpineLinux: The Lightweight Linux Distro Explained

｢ Alpine Linux uses a technique called position-independent executables to randomize the location of programs in memory. This makes it difficult for an attacker to exploit quirks in the memory and take over a machine.

The distro is also minimalist in its configuration. It gets its small size by using the BusyBox suite to provide most of the utilities in one executable ｣

Today in Sam's random side-quests, I have determined that it is possible to get 1100 requests per second out of an original 256MB RAM Raspberry Pi from 2011.

The setup is Lighttpd on Alpine Linux (diskless in-memory mode) and the Pi is overclocked from 700Mhz to 1.1Ghz.

I maxed out the 100Mb NIC, so turned on GZIP compression and went from about 525 to 1100 as a result.

HTTPS results coming soon (whether or not anyone cares about this).

My favorite new feature of #AlpineLinux 3.22: Support for OpenRC user services. The feature is still considered experimental, but some packages already provide user service files (e.g. dbus, pipewire, kanshi). Further, you can easily define your own in ~/.config/rc/.

If you use a PAM-enabled login method, you just need to install openrc-user-pam, and you're good to go.

Alpine Linux 3.22.0 ersetzt Gummiboot - LinuxCommunity
LinuxCommunity · Alpine Linux 3.22.0 ersetzt Gummiboot - LinuxCommunityDie leichtgewichtige und vor allem in Containern als Grundlage dienende Distribution Alpine Linux frischt in ihrer neuen Version vor allem zahlreiche Pakete auf. Zusätzlich gibt es ein paar kleine, je nach System aber wichtige Änderungen. Aufpassen müssen unter anderem alle, die in den Bootvorgang eingreifen oder einen eigenen Kernel nutzen: Alpine Linux 3.22.0 ersetzt Gummiboot durch „systemd-efistub“. In der Folge unterstützt der „secureboot-hook“ nicht mehr den „gummiboot-efistub“. Tätig werden müssen daher alle, die in der Konfigurationsdatei „/etc/kernel-hooks.d/secureboot.conf“ den Eintrag „efistub_file“ geändert haben. Hintergrundinformationen zu diesem Tausch finden sich in den Release Notes von Alpine Linux 3.22.0. Nicht mehr an Bord sind der Container-Manager LXD und das Qt5-Framework. Letzteres wird von seinen Entwicklern nicht mehr gepflegt, LXD wiederum musste zugunsten des Forks Incus gehen. Nutzer der Desktop-Umgebung KDE Plasma müssen ab sofort ohne die X11-Fassung auskommen – Alpine Linux unterstützt nur noch Wayland-Sitzungen. Die übrigen Änderungen ergeben sich aus den aktualisierten Paketen. So verfügt etwa der Routing Daemon Bird 3.1 über eine neue Multi-Threading-Architektur. Mit dabei sind zudem Busybox 1.37.0, Linux 6.12, die GCC 14.2.0, LLVM 20, Nginx 1.28 und PHP 8.4. Abschließend hat das Alpine-Team weiter am sogenannten /usr-Merge gearbeitet, bei dem einige Programme aus Verzeichnissen wie /bin, /lib und /sbin in ihre Pendants unter /usr verschoben werden. Wer sein bestehendes Alpine Linux aktualisiert, muss hier gegebenenfalls aufpassen.

@stefano Tried #alpinelinux on laptop (thinkpad p53) with ZFSbootmenu for the first time this week. Seems great overall, but:

* Had to disable the nouveau driver to make any graphics work.
* Got into this bug, where the initramfs tries to import all zpools at boot. Apparently, it has been fixed upstream.

github.com/psy0rz/alpinebox/is

I get this output, the system still boots, but I am not sure what I did wrong. Is this an error to be ignored? Can I get rid of it/ fix it? 0.819780] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: pci_hp_register failed wit...

He reiniciat l'EeePC 701 des d'una Live d'antiX, he executat GParted i he examinat les particions que ha creat el guió instal·lador (setup-alpine) pel seu compte. En cada unitat (interna, targeta SD, USB) hi ha tres particions tipus linux-raid, de 300 MiB (per a /boot; tipus 1 y versió 0.90, segons lsblk i mdadm des d'Alpine), de 953 MiB (tipus 5, versió 1.2, per a la swap) i de diverses mides segons la unitat (és a dir l'espai restant: 2.5, 28.32 i 57.35 GiB respectivament, tipus 5, versió 1.2) que em proporcionen una partició / de 5 GB.

Això no és el que jo volia: sembla que aquesta configuració no em permet sumar volums, que és el que vull. Probablement, tornaré a fer una instal·lació des de zero, però sense cap unitat extraïble inclosa (o potser només amb la targeta SD, a veure què hi fa) i, després, ja faré jocs malabars per afegir espai extra.

Demà, però: ara ja és hora de sopar i el tema aquest no el conec i és molt complex.

Doncs, sembla que sí, que, durant la instal·lació sobre l'Asus EeePC 701, #AlpineLinux ha muntat un sistema RAID que integra la unitat interna (4 GB), la targeta SD (32 GB) i la unitat USB (64 GB) i n'ha distribuit l'espai al seu gust (swap 2 GB, /boot 271 MB, / 4,8 GB).

Ara em tocarà estudiar com funcionaven els sistemes RAID, una cosa que vaig mirar i practicar fa molt anys en màquina ja difunta, i mirar d'assignar adequadament l'espai que encara no ho està. I, a ser possible, muntar una partició per al /home separada de la resta.

I, després, instal·lar el programari mínim (ja li he ficat Tmux i Elinks, entre d'altres 😌 ).

Ai, sinyor, ens quins sidrals m'hi pose! 😔
