Alpine Linux supporting selinux is only relevant in this discussion if you run Alpine as the container host. To the Alpine containers it is of no consequence.<p>OpenBSD has more than a great track record on security, maintainability, community spirit. As has Debian.<p>Alpine, after ten years, was simply not on the radar as a distro.<p>It is merely developers that do not seem to care about the actual systems these containers are built from that find Alpine interesting.<p>It&#x27;s small, so even on a 3g connection you can download those containers and get the functionality a developer seeks. Fast. And that is fine. It gets alpha code out in a timely manner without too many resources.<p>Just do not pretend that this way of working will deliver sustainable, maintainable and consistent code that will work just as well inside as well as outside containers.<p>Maintained, secure, stable and proven distributions have served any purpose given in the past. From embedded systems to HPCs, from trading floors to satellites.<p>Saying any of the &quot;old school&quot; distro&#x27;s are a bad fit for running in a container is a display of ignorance at best.
