Installing Alpine Linux in OpenBSD's VMM Hypervisor and setup k3s
# Assuming you're a regular user that has doas allowances for vmctl
mkdir -p ~/vmm
cd ~/vmm
# Grab the the one of the virt iso's of Alpine Linux
curl http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.11/releases/x86_64/alpine-virt-3.11.6-x86_64.iso -o alpine-virt-3.11.6-x86_64.iso

doas vmctl start -c -d alpine-virt-3.11.6-x86_64.iso -d alpine-virt1.img -n local -m 1024M alpine1
# You shoud get a serial console connection immediately. Hit enter or whatever to boot Alpine.
# Once in Alpine, run:
setup-alpine
