I need to install the control group tools on Alpine Linux; on some distros there is a cgroup-tools package or equivalent, but not on Alpine Linux.

I have looked for the a package containing any cg* file on the contents pane at https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/, but nothing turns up related to control groups, and searched high and low on search engines.

The package is available under the typical name (cgroup-tools), but is only in the community repository. Also, the package search on the web interface isn't as friendly as using the apk CLI; searching for "cgroup" doesn't turn up any results while searching explicitly for "cgroup-tools" does.

Here are the listings for the package on the community repository. https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=cgroup-tools&branch=edge&repo=community

Information on adding and using this repository can be found here: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Repositories
