# Alpine Builder

I modified FriendlyARM’s official builder for an Alpine Linux image workflow and booted a resulting image on a NanoPi board during that work.

The implementation uses Racket and separates root filesystem construction from board-image assembly. The work involved bringing together the Alpine userspace, board-specific boot files, disk layout and initial system configuration.

## Two outputs

- A rootfs archive contains the Linux userspace: packages, configuration and the filesystem tree.
- An SD-card image adds the board-specific boot files and disk layout needed for the target NanoPi board.

These are distinct build steps. A rootfs archive alone does not establish that a board image will boot.

## Current status

This project is no longer maintained. The successful hardware boot is a historical result. No fresh build or hardware boot was performed for this page update, and deterministic builds have not been verified.

This page is a record of the work. It does not provide a live build service, build controls, current job status or downloadable build artifacts.
