+### Alpine Linux
+
+If you use Alpine Linux, you can simply install the
+[garage](https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=garage) package from the
+Alpine Linux repositories (available since v3.17):
+
+```bash
+apk add garage
+```
+
+The default configuration file is installed to `/etc/garage.toml`. You can run
+Garage using: `rc-service garage start`. If you don't specify `rpc_secret`, it
+will be automatically replaced with a random string on the first start.
+
+Please note that this package is built without Consul discovery, Kubernetes
+discovery, OpenTelemetry exporter, and K2V features (K2V will be enabled once
+it's stable).
