+# Alpine Packages Repository
+
+Publish [Alpine](https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/) packages for your user or organization.
+
+**Table of Contents**
+
+{{< toc >}}
+
+## Requirements
+
+To work with the Alpine registry, you need to use a HTTP client like `curl` to upload and a package manager like `apk` to consume packages.
+
+The following examples use `apk`.
+
+## Configuring the package registry
+
+To register the Alpine registry add the url to the list of known apk sources (`/etc/apk/repositories`):
+
+```
+https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/alpine/<branch>/<repository>
+```
+
+| Placeholder | Description |
+| ------------ | ----------- |
+| `owner` | The owner of the packages. |
+| `branch` | The branch to use. |
+| `repository` | The repository to use. |
+
+If the registry is private, provide credentials in the url. You can use a password or a [personal access token]({{< relref "doc/development/api-usage.en-us.md#authentication" >}}):
+
+```
+https://{username}:{your_password_or_token}@gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/alpine/<branch>/<repository>
+```
+
+The Alpine registry files are signed with a RSA key which must be known to apk. Download the public key and store it in `/etc/apk/keys/`:
+
+```shell
+curl -JO https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/alpine/key
+```
+
+Afterwards update the local package index:
+
+```shell
+apk update
+```
+
+## Publish a package
+
+To publish an Alpine package (`*.apk`), perform a HTTP `PUT` operation with the package content in the request body.
+
+```
+PUT https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/alpine/{branch}/{repository}
+```
+
+| Parameter | Description |
+| ------------ | ----------- |
+| `owner` | The owner of the package. |
+| `branch` | The branch may match the release version of the OS, ex: `v3.17`. |
+| `repository` | The repository can be used [to group packages](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Repositories) or just `main` or similar. |
+
+Example request using HTTP Basic authentication:
+
+```shell
+curl --user your_username:your_password_or_token \
+ --upload-file path/to/file.apk \
+ https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/alpine/v3.17/main
+```
+
+If you are using 2FA or OAuth use a [personal access token]({{< relref "doc/development/api-usage.en-us.md#authentication" >}}) instead of the password.
+You cannot publish a file with the same name twice to a package. You must delete the existing package file first.
+
+The server responds with the following HTTP Status codes.
+
+| HTTP Status Code | Meaning |
+| ----------------- | ------- |
+| `201 Created` | The package has been published. |
+| `400 Bad Request` | The package name, version, branch, repository or architecture are invalid. |
+| `409 Conflict` | A package file with the same combination of parameters exist already in the package. |
+
+## Delete a package
+
+To delete an Alpine package perform a HTTP `DELETE` operation. This will delete the package version too if there is no file left.
+
+```
+DELETE https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/alpine/{branch}/{repository}/{architecture}/{filename}
+```
+
+| Parameter | Description |
+| -------------- | ----------- |
+| `owner` | The owner of the package. |
+| `branch` | The branch to use. |
+| `repository` | The repository to use. |
+| `architecture` | The package architecture. |
+| `filename` | The file to delete.
+
+Example request using HTTP Basic authentication:
+
+```shell
+curl --user your_username:your_token_or_password -X DELETE \
+ https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/alpine/v3.17/main/test-package-1.0.0.apk
+```
+
+The server responds with the following HTTP Status codes.
+
+| HTTP Status Code | Meaning |
+| ----------------- | ------- |
+| `204 No Content` | Success |
+| `404 Not Found` | The package or file was not found. |
+
+## Install a package
+
+To install a package from the Alpine registry, execute the following commands:
+
+```shell
+# use latest version
+apk add {package_name}
+# use specific version
+apk add {package_name}={package_version}
+```
