Fresh copy of alpine with golang.

For this, I wanted a simple cli development environment also, so we will install git, vim, zsh, ohmyzsh, and fzf. You might want to install vim first;

apk add vim

Then, just paste the code below into a script.

vim fresh-alpine-with-go-zsh-and-fzf.ash;

#!/bin/ash

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
cd ~/;
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.git ~/.fzf
~/.fzf/install
exit;

Make it executable, and execute;

chmod +x fresh-alpine-with-go-zsh-and-fzf.ash && ./fresh-alpine-with-go-zsh-and-fzf.ash

When prompted by ohmyzsh if you want to make zsh default shell, you can select no, since that’s what sed does with root privileges.

Log back into alpine. LXC container size; 364.65 MiB

You get the gist
