Alpine Linux Support

[tylersatre]

Is there any plan to add a build for Alpine Linux? My deployed production image is built from php:8.4-fpm-alpine since it ends up being about 500MB smaller than using php:8.4-fpm and I'd love to be able to include this in my version without having to switch over to Debian based images.

We'll try to see if we can prioritize an Alpine version this week!

We tried to build an Alpine package, but at this time we are blocked by an issue from the golang compiler: golang/go#54805. When built with musl (the libc used on Alpine), golang generates shared libraries that crash when loaded with dlopen. Our architecture is based on 2 golang shared libs, so until the golang issue gets fixed, we won't be able to ship an Alpine package. I saw some recent work on this topic, so they might release a new version with the fix soon. I'll leave this open and be back once it's fixed.
