there is no such thing as a “glibc based alpine image”

Sorry, mostly found it interesting because it gets a bit into symbol versioning which in my experience isn’t something everyone is familiar with.

    What exactly is the appeal of “glibc based Alpine” anyway? Isn’t the whole point of Alpine to get away from the GNU userland?

      I assume the major reason is trying to get pre-compiled proprietary software to work…hardly any proprietary software offers a musl version in addition to their glibc version.
