Install Alpine Linux in a Proxmox container

4 February 2026
Alpine Linux is a lightweight, security-focused distribution that uses musl, libc, and busybox by default. It is an excellent choice for Proxmox LXC containers when you want minimal resource usage, fast boot times, and a small disk footprint. Choose Alpine for running services like Docker hosts, monitoring tools, or simple servers inside Proxmox.

9 April 2025
According to the XMRig documentation, enabling hugepages results in a typical hash rate increase of 20-30% for most algorithms with an up-to-50% increase in hash rate for RandomX algorithms. However, to run XMRig in an unprivileged container, we must reserve the pages on the Proxmox host ahead of time.
