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