Alpine on Fedora CoreOS (uCore)

The primary reason this exists at all is because I'm running Fedora CoreOS (specifically ublue-os/ucore) on my server as a lightweight container host. UCore comes with a few packages pre-installed, but they're primarily for getting containers up and running. This means no Vim, no htop, no lazydocker, etc. The intended path forward is that you'll use a Distrobox and do all of your stuff in there. I actually quite like this approach!

#!/bin/bash

if [ -z "${CONTAINER_ID}" ] && [ -t 0 ]; then
    exec distrobox enter alpine
