Alpine Linux
lastmod 2023-12-17created 2022-06-147 edits
Alpine Linux is a Linux distribution based on musl and BusyBox, designed for security, simplicity, and resource efficiency. Up to the 3.8 release it used a hardened kernel, and it compiles all user-space binaries as position-independent executables with stack-smashing protection.
Because of its small size, it is commonly used in containers, where it provides fast boot times.
The postmarketOS project, designed to run on mobile devices, is based on Alpine Linux.

Troubleshooting
not found
- Stackoverflow - Docker Alpine executable binary not found even if in PATH
- Stackoverflow - Is there a best practice on setting up glibc on docker alpine linux base image?
When running an executable, it may fail to run properly and print "not found". This can be caused by missing libraries. Check with a utility like ldd.
