What is this?
Add "Alpine's Package manager"(apk cli) on any Linux Distro.
You can get state-of-arts alpines packages to your linux, with almost zero-cost or effort.
Alpine's packages version is up-to-date, so you can get newer version of packaged binary.
Target platform
Tested on Any Docker based linux. (only tested for x86_64 based)
maybe works with not only docker images but also bare-metal.
tested docker images - Generic Linux distro.
- Debian
- Ubuntu
- OpenSuse
- RHEL7
- registry.access.redhat.com/rhel7-atomic
- registry.access.redhat.com/rhel7
- CentOS
tested docker images - busybox based Linux distro.
-
Cirros
-
Issue: busybox docker image has issue with HTTPS fetch. so cannot be installed.
Install
Just run command.
curl -sL bit.ly/alpineapk | sh
if you want setup for Busybox based distro(like cirros), use command below
curl -sL bit.ly/alpinebusybox | sh
License
MIT License. use your own risk.
Limitation
- Need curl command. (ubuntu and debian, opensuse minimal docker images has no curl. you have to install it.)
- Basicllay generic linux distro use basic library as "GLIBC". but alpine use "MUSL". There's no binary compatability between libc level.
- gcc compile is not compatable between Generic Linux Distro like (RHEL/CentOS/Debian/Ubuntu) and Alpine
