Comment Comment by Intralexical Alpine Linux is not statically linked. It provides a musl environment which makes it easy to statically link your own builds, but software shipped as part of the distro is usually dynamically linked. $ docker run -it --rm alpine / # apk add cmd:ldd / # ldd $(which ash) /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 (0x7f4cb4d1d000) libc.musl-x86_64.so.1 => /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 (0x7f4cb4d1d000) / # apk add cmd:python3 / # ldd $(which python3) /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 (0x7fd630cab000) libpython3.12.so.1.0 => /usr/lib/libpython3.12.so.1.0 (0x7fd63069a000) libc.musl-x86_64.so.1 => /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 (0x7fd630cab000) parent Intralexical 3 days ago
