Alpine Linux 是一个面向安全的轻量级 Linux 发行版，该发行版以安全为理念，面向 x86 路由器、防火墙、虚拟专用网、IP 电话盒及服务器而设计。另外，不同于常见的 Linux 发行版，Alpine Linux 采用 musl libc 和 busybox 以减小系统的体积和运行时资源消耗。在保持瘦身的同时，Alpine Linux 还提供了自己的包管理工具 apk，可以在其网站上查询软件包，或直接通过 apk 命令进行查询和安装。
Alpine Linux is a security-oriented lightweight Linux distribution. The distribution is designed for x86 routers, firewalls, virtual private networks, IP phone boxes, and servers based on the concept of security. In addition, unlike common Linux distributions, Alpine Linux uses musl libc and busybox to reduce system size and runtime resource consumption. While keeping weight thin, Alpine Linux also provides its own package management tool apk, which can be queried on its website, or queried and installed directly through the apk command.
