Segmentation fault golang alpine

[Chris (stof) Langton]

using this simple Dockerfile;

FROM golang:alpine
RUN apk add git && \
    wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golang/dep/master/install.sh | sh

Assuming docker build -t <tag> . and docker run -it --entrypoint=/bin/sh <tag>

Running dep init produces Segmentation fault. and which dep produces /go/bin/dep as expected.

Is alpine not yet supported?

alpine uses musl libc versus glibc, so you will need to use the alpine packaged version of dep - the dep binary releases link to glibc. if you include the alpine community repository this should be available, just apk add dep. Alternatively, you can amend the Dockerfile to build dep from source.

as a followup, this works for me:

FROM golang:alpine
RUN apk add git && apk add dep


406812a41c0e:~# dep version
dep:
 version     : 0.5.0
 build date  : 
 git hash    : 
 go version  : go1.12.5
 go compiler : gc
 platform    : linux/amd64
 features    : ImportDuringSolve=false

Verified working 👍

Suggest an alpine support section of the docos to describe this, i went looking and had to report it here, of course only needed if there's no intention to support alpine via install.sh going forward
