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.
you can try to install alpine-pkg-glibc
Ahm…the article is about how that package creates a broken system and that the alpine project doesn’t want to be associated with images that have the package preinstalled. So not sure if suggesting to try it is a good idea ;)
