Introduction
Alpine Linux is an independent, non-commercial, general purpose Linux distribution designed for power users who appreciate security, simplicity and resource efficiency. A minimal installation to disk requires only 130MB of storage. It is used in the majority of Docker container images and installs only about 8MB of operating system software.

Then instruct ssh to only use the authentication identity files specified on the command line...
ssh -o IdentitiesOnly=yes root@192.168.0.106
Fonts
To set a large font on the console command line...
apk add terminus-font setfont /usr/share/consolefonts/ter-132n.psf.gz nano /etc/conf.d/consolefont rc-update add consolefont boot reboot

Partition your SD card...
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 2048 503807 501760 245M c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/sda2 503808 15548415 15044608 7.2G 83 Linux
