Yes, it'd be very useful for more people here. Thank you for your time on spending on this support!

[wagenet]

We'll look into what it would take to support it. How soon we can do it depends on the required effort.

I would need the Alpine support as well. Any update?

Hi guys !

At Effilab, our ECS cluster runs fully on Alpine-linux.
Any news on Alpine-linux support ?

[franzejr]

I would be thrilled with this support..Looking forward to see this too.

With Alpine being the recommended docker base image, as more apps get containerized, I believe this is mandatory for your business...

[deepj]

@LouisKottmann I agree!

mmh..
CC=musl-gcc ./configure
prefix=/usr/local/musl

[wagenet]

@adilbenseddik it's a bit more complex that that. However, we are working on it and hope to have something available soon.

[adilbenseddik]

@wagenet was kidding.. I bet you have more issues to address.. yet, we're really eager to see your app up and running!! 👍 (I'm I wrong if I say you struggle with upgrading your c++ code to musl libc ??)

[wagenet]

@adilbenseddik fortunately, we're using Rust and it actually has pretty good support for musl. I believe I've got everything working, but need a little bit more internal testing before we release.

[adilbenseddik]

hey!! @wagenet that sounds really great!! do you think we could have a pre-release aka. staging of your app? here at Effilab we are pretty serious about implementing your solution in our stack, so we may help you with ad hoc (client) feedback, and further (specific) tests results.. ??

[dlupu]

looking forward for the release. this is something we're clearlt missing also on our project.

[wagenet]

I just pushed out an initial stab at musl support to the master branch in this repo. If any of you would be up for testing it, that would be awesome. I did some basic tests on Alpine and it seems to work fine, but we don't use Alpine ourselves, so it's entirely possible that we missed some things.

Hello @wagenet, I'm the tester, on it.
