Alpine Linux support

[DaanSelen]

For the purpose of the Docker container and in general compatability it would be cool if there was Alpine Linux support.

Relevant: #334

[DaanSelen]

@NOXCIS Perhaps you can support Donald in this.

@DaanSelen @donaldzou the install script is the only thing stopping alpine support, i think. also a bit of the gunicorn venv if i remember correctly.

Yes I'm currently testing on that

Hi all, please view this install script on Alpine linux. We might need to change some commands for Docker but this works on the standard Alpine Linux ISO:

Note

On line 3, please replace it with the fastest repo for you :)

setup-interfaces -a ; \
rc-service networking --quiet start ; \
printf "https://mirrors.aliyun.com/alpine/latest-stable/main\nhttps://mirrors.aliyun.com/alpine/latest-stable/community" > /etc/apk/repositories ; \
apk update ; \
apk add wireguard-tools python3 python3-dev git iptables net-tools gcc musl-dev linux-headers sudo ; \
git clone -b v4.0-alpine-linux https://github.com/donaldzou/WGDashboard.git ; \
cd ./WGDashboard/src ; \
chmod +x ./wgd.sh ; \
./wgd.sh install

[donaldzou]

If this works I'll merge the v4.0-alpine-linux branch into main :)

@donaldzou How are you testing alpine?

[donaldzou]

Hi all, please view this install script on Alpine linux. We might need to change some commands for Docker but this works on the standard Alpine Linux ISO:

./wgd.sh install

@NOXCIS, I'm using this command. Had to install sudo tho (line 5)

[NOXCIS]

@donaldzou Which do you think is better?
Image with C dev kit or Image with precompiled binaries but reduces python venv isolation?

[donaldzou]

@NOXCIS I think is better to have C dev tools pre installed, but leave the Python stuff to be download it fresh? And I feel like installing the C dev tools takes much longer than installing Python venv

[NOXCIS]

Build times are not practical for 32bit ARM when installing the dev tools and trying to compile psutil & bcrypt. However I still agree with you on installing the dev tools over giving the venv access to site system packages even if the whole thing is containerized. I'll look into other options so i can keep running this on a potato 🥔 if need be.

[NOXCIS]

@donaldzou Nevermind its two lines
{ apk update; apk add python3 net-tools python3-dev; printf "\n\n"; } &>> ./log/install.txt

apk add --no-cache sudo gcc musl-dev linux-headers && \

prebuilt potato chips are good.

[donaldzou]

Should we still keep it if someone used Alpine without Docker😂😂

[NOXCIS]

@donaldzou

Two stage docker build

[DaanSelen]

@donaldzou

Two stage docker build

Do you want to use multistage builds to compile bcrypt and psutil modules?

[NOXCIS]

@donaldzou @DaanSelen

I got a working build just need to do some clean up.

[DaanSelen]

@donaldzou @DaanSelen

I got a working build just need to do some clean up.

If you reference the code somewhere I can look at the code later.

[NOXCIS]

@DaanSelen Sure i just have to do some clean up, it was alot of trial and error

@donaldzou

Two stage docker build

Do you want to use multistage builds to compile bcrypt and psutil modules?

Yeah thats how i got the image to be so small without poking holes in the python venv.

[NOXCIS]

@DaanSelen @donaldzou Alpine Docker build here
ARM 32 bit takes ~400 seconds to build

[donaldzou]

Let me know if the clean up is done and I can merge it into main :)

[DaanSelen]

The new Docker configuration removed a lot of features while breaking others, why has this been merged with main?

[NOXCIS]

@DaanSelen Im working on a dotenv implement to safely pass environment variables via a .env file. Check out my Wiregate repo prion branch for an example.
