+
+[Sunshine](https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine) now provides official Alpine Linux packages for both x86_64 and
+aarch64. The packages are available today from LizardByte's
+[beta Cloudsmith repository](https://cloudsmith.io/~lizardbyte/repos/beta/) and the
+[Sunshine releases page](https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases). When the next stable Sunshine release is
+published, its Alpine packages will also be available from the
+[stable Cloudsmith repository](https://cloudsmith.io/~lizardbyte/repos/stable/).
+
+This gives Alpine users a package built for the distribution's musl-based environment, without needing to build
+Sunshine from source or adapt a package intended for another Linux distribution.
+
+## Install Sunshine on Alpine
+
+During the beta period, download the current package from the
+[beta Cloudsmith repository](https://cloudsmith.io/~lizardbyte/repos/beta/) or the main
+[GitHub releases page](https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases). Choose the APK that matches your Alpine
+release and system architecture.
+
+[Browse Cloudsmith beta packages](https://cloudsmith.io/~lizardbyte/repos/beta/){: .btn .btn-primary }
+[Browse Sunshine releases](https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases){: .btn .btn-primary }
+
+After downloading the package for your system, install it as root:
+
+```sh
+apk add --allow-untrusted ./sunshine_{version}_alpine{distro-version}_{arch}.apk
+```
+
+Release APKs use a new signing key for each build. That key is not already trusted by your Alpine installation, so
+the `--allow-untrusted` option is required when installing the downloaded file.
+
+To upgrade, download the newer APK for your Alpine release and architecture and install it with the same command. To
+uninstall Sunshine:
+
+```sh
+apk del sunshine
+```
+
+## Compatibility and limitations
+
+The Alpine builds do not include CUDA or NVFBC capture. The other capture and encoding backends supported by the
+system remain enabled.
+
+For current installation details and package requirements, see the
+[Sunshine documentation](https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/master/md_docs_2getting__started.html#alpine-linux).
