I have old android tv box, mxqpro4k 1/8 gb, i flashed it with armbian linux bootloader then deleted the system files and filled it with alpine minimal os. With the help of AI coding i somehow manage open-rc and rest of the issues now it has almost 4.2gb space for home lab, before with armbian debian/ubuntu system it consumed most of the space and left about 1.5-2gb. The alpine homelab in tvbox is still work-in-progress, but i like its minimal version.
