> I feel like the problem most people run into today is glibc vs. musl differences. They develop on Ubuntu, then think they can just copy their binaries into a "FROM alpine:latest" container, which doesn't actually work.

Could it work with gcompat? Alpine has it in the community repo.

gcompat is roughly the "yeah the plugs look the same so just stick the 120 V device into the 240 V socket" approach to libc compatibility.


that's running it directly on musl. gcompat is more like a passive adapter which works except you need to know if the device you're plugging in actually supports 240V, which most stuff does nowadays but when it doesn't it explodes horribly.
