+# Packer for Alpine (Virt) GNS3 appliance
+
+This is the bare version of `Alpine Linux` installed from iso, no extra package added.
+
+Build in 1m12s on `macOS Monterey`.
+
+### Linux (untested)
+
+```bash
+packer build alpine.json
+```
+
+> :information_source: Uses `tcg` QEMU accelerator.
+
+
+### macOS (tested)
+
+```bash
+packer build -var-file macos.json alpine.json
+```
+
+> :information_source: Uses `hvf` QEMU accelerator. Actually much much faster than the default one, `packer` will fail on `macOS` without `hvf` (timing issue).
