Docker Official Images Are Moving to Alpine Linux
What worries me about Alpine is that it invents YET-ANOTHER package manager(apk) . I think it claims that it builds on top of Gentoo... But could someone explain why Deb or rpm could not be used.<p>Does using Deb or rpm screw up size or security in some way. We could also have gotten access to the Debian/Fedora repository in a pinch. Not all of us run statically compiled go executables and often have tons of dependencies that need to be installed for webapp.<p>P.S. And the package manager apk is unfortunately named to conflict with IMHO the biggest package repo in the world:Android. It is virtually impossible to Google anything meaningful without running into android.
