Ah, another tale that includes getting bit by static linking and alpine.
Maybe I've just had a bad sample size, but I just haven't experienced a big enough win by using alpine to justify the weird scenarios that come up on occasion.
The idea is nice. A small, stripped down container that will load quickly and have very few maintenance issues (due to basically zero dependencies). But my debian-slim images work well enough and when I do hit a problem there's more community around it and it's more straightforward to fix.
