Oh, might be the chance to chuck my Alpine, Debian and Ubuntu containers into the flaming sun and just use an Arch Linux base image.
No more dealing with apt nonsense; no more dealing with Debian packaging philosophy which is antithetical to containers; and no more musl, which has been working fine, but I keep wondering whether any DNS issue is because of it.
- lrvick 3y agoIMO musl is the right way forward if you want to optimize for minimalism, security, and making it easy to build static binaries in most languages.
- anthk 3y agoNot just static builds. An alpine chroot with bubblewrap and mosh for non-supported distros weights less than 60MB.
- musicale 3y agoI wonder how much larger that is than, say, classic Unix distributions like 4.3BSD.
- musicale 3y agoAnd glibc is bad until it can be used reliably for static builds.
