    I like Alpine Linux very much and use it when I am going to containerize an application in docker. It’s incredibly lightweight and has a very good security history.

      We like Alpine because it doesn’t run afoul of our outbound software license to distribute container images with it.

      Of course most folks aren’t distributing full container images with their licensed software, so this niche probably doesn’t apply to most people.

      I recently pushed my company to move everything off of Alpine and onto Debian Slim

      We had too many issues with musl that are incomprehensibly obscure and impossible to troubleshoot. Now the environment we deploy on is functionally the same to the environment our devs develop on

        Now the environment we deploy on is functionally the same to the environment our devs develop on

        Isn’t this one of the primary benefits of Docker?

        Development, CI, and deployment environments can and should be the same.
