Alpine Chroot

Installation

To create a base alpine chroot on any alpine system, run:

chmod +x *.sh
./alpine_init.sh

But this is assuming your current working directory is the directory of the cloned repository.

When it is your first time in the chroot, run:

./chroot_init.sh

Usage

Most people will go "into" the chroot via:

chroot /mnt/chroot sh

But you must remember that you can just as well run any program in the chroot as:

chroot /mnt/chroot <program>

Because chroots are not jails, containers, or sandboxes. They simply change what the system sees as the "root" point of the file system.
