Bluetooth

The BlueZ project provides the infrastructure, similarly to other distributions.

To install it (if it isn’t already):

# apk add bluez

Enable the daemon:

# dinitctl enable bluetoothd

For Bluetooth audio devices, PipeWire support is provided by the pipewire-bluetooth package. This package will automatically install if you have both bluez and pipewire. The sound server needs to be restarted after this package is installed, so that the plugin can be registered.

If your graphical session has Bluetooth integration (e.g. GNOME with its panel widget), it likewise needs to be restarted.

Therefore, it is recommended that you log out and back in to get all user processes reloaded. If you have your session set up to linger user services (which is not the default), restart the user services manually before logging out, or simply reboot.
