# 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 with 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.
