I've ran into this as well. Having a hard time remembering what the issue was. Maybe DNS-related?

- stonogo 11y agoThese incompatibilities arose from software that was written to rely on glibc-specific name resolution quirks. Neither musl nor docker rely on these misplaced expectations, but unfortunately some projects have decided to blame a standards-compliant libc implementation rather than fix their own software.
- kylequest 11y agoIt sure would be nice if everything was working according to the standards :-)
- monkmartinez 11y agoI am not familiar enough with the quirks of glibc name resolution to say much more than a lot of my stuff relies on binaries compiled against it. Who, in your opinion is to blame here, and what can we do to fix it?
- ageofwant 11y agoIf Alpine does not support the software I depend on I have no use for it. I would like to use the official Docker containers as far as I can but I'm most certainly not going to spend time recompiling third party deps to accomplish that. Shipped products trumps "security" and by god "size" every time, always.
