# Init system ## OpenRC Alpine Linux uses OpenRC as init system which has a few configuration options that can be changed. Most options are already explained in the `/etc/rc.conf` file which has to be edited. ### Parallel services The boot process can be sped up if services are launched parallel (do note that this *can* potentially lock the boot process). ``` rc_parallel="YES" ``` ### Logging What is more important is enabling the logger which logs the rc process. Enable it by setting: ``` rc_logger="YES" ``` To also log the kernel add `klogd`. ``` # apk add sysklogd # rc-update add klogd boot ``` You can view the logs in `/var/log/dmesg` and `/var/log/messages`. ## User services using runit If `home-manager` has been initialised and logged into the Wayfire session then it should have started a lot of services automatically. These are created and managed through `home-manager`. The help and manual pages of `runit` explain how to use `sv` to manage the services.
