I've fallen in love with Alpine. I'm using it on my bare bone servers running from a ram disk (USB drive) hosting Docker containers and even qemu VMs. All on encrypted zfs volumes. Totally love it

Can you recommend any tutorials or blog posts on some of this? Really interested in it. Otherwise I'll search for it, thanks for the information.

Here are some links for you that I think would be useful for a related setup, however I can't speak for the user that posted that. The headless installation should follow the same principles of using a RAMDisk though.

If you want to dive deeper, I have written a blog post about how to pxe boot alpine in your home (with central config storage) https://blog.haschek.at/2019/build-your-own-datacenter-with-...
