# OpenRC

Alpine Linux uses OpenRC as init system which has a few configuration option that can be changed. Most options are already explained in the `/etc/rc.conf` file which has to be edited.

The boot process can be sped up if services are launched parallel (do note that this *can* lead to small issues).

```
rc_parallel="YES"
```

What is more important is enabling the logger which logs the rc process. Enable it though:

```
rc_logger="YES"
```
