Alpine Linux Agent Installation

Run the Alpine Docker Container

If Alpine is being run in a Docker container, start the container. For example:

docker run -it -p 80:80 alpine:3.11 /bin/sh

Add the Package Repositories

We’ll first add in the Signal Sciences apk repositories as this simplifies the installation process.

apk update
apk add wget
wget -q https://apk.signalsciences.net/sigsci_apk.pub ; mv sigsci_apk.pub /etc/apk/keys/
echo https://apk.signalsciences.net/3.11/main | tee -a /etc/apk/repositories && apk update

sudo apk update
sudo apk add wget
sudo wget -q https://apk.signalsciences.net/sigsci_apk.pub ; sudo mv sigsci_apk.pub /etc/apk/keys/
sudo echo https://apk.signalsciences.net/3.11/main | sudo tee -a /etc/apk/repositories && sudo apk update 

Verify the downloaded key contains the proper key by running this command:

openssl rsa -pubin -in /etc/apk/keys/sigsci_apk.pub -text -noout
