How to enable and start services on Alpine Linux

To enable and start services on Alpine Linux, you can use the rc-update and rc-service commands.

1. To enable a service, use the rc-update command with the add option followed by the name of the service and the runlevel. For example, to enable the sshd service at boot time, you can use the following command:

rc-update add sshd default

This will add the sshd service to the default runlevel, which is the runlevel that is used when the system boots.

2. To start a service, use the rc-service command with the start option followed by the name of the service. For example, to start the sshd service, you can use the following command:

rc-service sshd start

This will start the sshd service.

Note that the rc-update and rc-service commands are part of the OpenRC init system, which is used by Alpine Linux.
