About

What Alpine Linux does

A lightweight Alpine Linux container with an SSH server. Set your username and password via environment variables to connect from any SSH client. Alpine's minimal footprint makes it ideal as a fast, low-overhead remote shell or development sandbox.

Install Flow

How to self-host Alpine Linux

Alpine Linux can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Alpine Linux does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, dependencies, and where to find the original compose template.

If you searched for Alpine Linux Docker, Alpine Linux Docker Compose, or self-host Alpine Linux, this page is the direct landing page for that app in Yantr's catalog.

After deployment, Yantr also lets you publish additional ports later from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use mappings like 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random host port for container port 8080.
