# An Alpine Linux server installation This guide will demonstrate how to install [Alpine Linux](https://www.alpinelinux.org/) for server application. Alpine Linux will run on a raid configured encrypted ZFS filesystem with automatic decryption using TPM. User containers will be configured with `podman` and managed with `runsvdir`. Alpine Linux makes a good base for a server because of its simplicity, lightweightness and security. Check out the [Alpine Linux wiki](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Main_Page) for additional resources and information.
