How to install XCP-NG Guest Utilities on Alpine Linux

At the time of writing this, the XCP-NG guest tools ISO does not support Alpine Linux, but you can install the guest utilities using

install_xe_guest_utilities.sh
apk add xe-guest-utilities

Additionally, you need to enable starting the Xen guest utilities on startup:

enable_xe_guest_utilities.sh
rc-update add xe-guest-utilities default

Now we can start the utilities manually in order to avoid having to reboot:

start_xe_guest_utilities.sh
/etc/init.d/xe-guest-utilities start
