This guide is a step-by-step installation guide for Alpine Linux. The instructions were verified against Alpine v3.10 standard image. You might miss additional dependencies if you use `netboot` instead.
It assumes that you have administrative rights, either as root or a user with [sudo permissions](https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-reference/custom-kernels-distros/install-alpine-linux-on-your-linode/#configuration). If you want to run this guide with root, ignore the `sudo` at the beginning of the lines, unless it calls a user like `sudo -Hu pleroma`; in this case, use `su -l <username> -s $SHELL -c 'command'` instead.

* Add a new system user for the Akkoma service:
```shell
sudo addgroup pleroma
sudo adduser -S -s /bin/false -h /opt/pleroma -H -G pleroma pleroma
sudo addgroup akkoma
sudo adduser -S -s /bin/false -h /opt/akkoma -H -G akkoma akkoma
```
**Note**: To execute a single command as the Akkoma system user, use `sudo -Hu pleroma command`. You can also switch to a shell by using `sudo -Hu pleroma $SHELL`. If you dont have and want `sudo` on your system, you can use `su` as root user (UID 0) for a single command by using `su -l pleroma -s $SHELL -c 'command'` and `su -l pleroma -s $SHELL` for starting a shell.

* Git clone the AkkomaBE repository and make the Akkoma user the owner of the directory:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/pleroma
sudo chown -R pleroma:pleroma /opt/pleroma
sudo -Hu pleroma git clone -b stable https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma /opt/pleroma
sudo mkdir -p /opt/akkoma
sudo chown -R akkoma:akkoma /opt/akkoma
sudo -Hu akkoma git clone https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma.git /opt/akkoma
```
* Change to the new directory:
```shell
cd /opt/pleroma
cd /opt/akkoma
```
* Install the dependencies for Akkoma and answer with `yes` if it asks you to install `Hex`:
```shell
sudo -Hu pleroma mix deps.get
sudo -Hu akkoma mix deps.get
```
* Generate the configuration: `sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix pleroma.instance gen`
* Generate the configuration: `sudo -Hu akkoma MIX_ENV=prod mix pleroma.instance gen`
* Answer with `yes` if it asks you to install `rebar3`.
* This may take some time, because parts of pleroma get compiled first.
* This may take some time, because parts of akkoma get compiled first.
* After that it will ask you a few questions about your instance and generates a configuration file in `config/generated_config.exs`.
* Check the configuration and if all looks right, rename it, so Akkoma will load it (`prod.secret.exs` for productive instance, `dev.secret.exs` for development instances):
```shell
sudo -Hu pleroma mv config/{generated_config.exs,prod.secret.exs}
sudo -Hu akkoma mv config/{generated_config.exs,prod.secret.exs}
