# if you plan to run node.js Netdata plugins
apk add nodejs

# download Netdata - the directory 'netdata' will be created
git clone https://github.com/netdata/netdata.git --depth=100 --recursive
cd netdata

# build it, install it, start it
./netdata-installer.sh

# make Netdata start at boot and stop at shutdown
cat > /etc/init.d/netdata << EOF
#!/sbin/openrc-run

name="netdata"
command="/usr/sbin/$SVCNAME"

depend() {
