• /dev/null: Permission denied on Alpine Linux One of my Alpine Linux VMs broke during an upgrade and started throwing errors about the permissions on /dev/null. Just fixing the permissions didn’t persist across reboots, but resetting the device manager did.

• Let’s Encrypt on Alpine Linux The Easy Way Don’t use acme-cert. Use certbot.
