Alpine Linux 3.18.0 Released
- LinuxBender 3y agomusl libc 1.2.4 – now with TCP fallback in DNS resolver The no-tcp fallback discussion has come up a few times on HN. Maybe that will unbreak some Kube clusters or at least remove the need for some workarounds. I just upgraded one of my nameservers and the kernel is 6.1.27-2 was 5.15.109-0 previously. Upgrade appears to have gone fine. A few sysctl's deprecated. Nice and boring, the way I like it.
- LinuxBender 3y agoBare metal upgrades have been going fine as well.
- jmakov 3y agoCan somebody elaborate why would you want to use Alpine instead Clear Linux?
- squarefoot 3y agoAlpine also runs on ARM platforms, and by using musl instead of glibc it consumes a lot less resources, at the price of some (thankfully rare) incompatibilities here and there. For reference: https://wiki.musl-libc.org/functional-differences-from-glibc.html https://wiki.musl-libc.org/functional-differences-from-glibc...
- KronisLV 3y agoLink for anyone interested in Clear Linux: https://clearlinux.org/ https://clearlinux.org/ Had heard of Alpine and used it plenty for containers, yet hadn't heard of Clear Linux before. Nowadays I just use Ubuntu for my container images (due to the same environment as my dev machine which simplifies things for me), but there's also a lot of benefit and elegance in more lightweight alternatives.

- vivegi 3y agoSmall optimized container image sizes is one of the reasons. alpine image is ~5 MB. [1] clearlinux image is ~80 MB. [2] [1]: https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine [2]: https://hub.docker.com/_/clearlinux/tags https://hub.docker.com/_/clearlinux/tags
