How To View CPU Temperature On Alpine Linux

To view the CPU temperature on an Alpine Linux system, you can use the sensors command, which displays information about various hardware sensors, including the CPU temperature.

To install the sensors command, you will need to install the lm-sensors package using the apk package manager. Run the following command to install lm-sensors:

apk add lm-sensors

Once lm-sensors is installed, you can use the sensors command to view the CPU temperature. For example:

sensors

This will display a list of sensor readings, including the CPU temperature. The CPU temperature is usually displayed under the "Core" heading.

If the sensors command does not display the CPU temperature, it may be necessary to configure the lm-sensors package by running the sensors-detect command. This will prompt you to answer a series of questions to identify the sensors that are present on your system. Once the configuration is complete, you should be able to use the sensors command to view the CPU temperature.
