lbu

Manage apk overlay files on a diskless Alpine Linux system. Note: subcommands like include write to /etc, which is stored in RAM. You need to run lbu commit to save the changes. More information: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Alpine_local_backup.

• Commit changes to persistent storage (only files in /etc by default):

lbu ci|commit

• List files that would be saved using commit:

lbu st|status

• Display changes in tracked files that would be saved using commit:

lbu diff

• Include a specific file or directory in the apk overlay:

lbu add|inc|include path/to/file_or_directory

• Exclude a specific file or directory in /etc from the apk overlay:

lbu ex|exclude|delete path/to/file_or_directory

• Display the list of manually included/excluded files:

lbu inc|include|ex|exclude -l

• List backups (previously created overlays):

lbu lb|list-backup

• Revert to a backup overlay:

lbu revert overlay_filename.tar.gz
