Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I’m always frustrated when I try to run or integrate software that doesn’t support Alpine Linux, which is a popular lightweight Linux distribution. Many applications I use rely on dependencies that aren’t available or aren’t compatible with Alpine’s musl libc, which can lead to compatibility issues or require workarounds.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see support for Alpine Linux added, so that users can easily install and run applications and tools without encountering issues related to library compatibility or missing dependencies. This could involve creating Alpine-compatible packages or Docker images, and ensuring that dependencies and libraries used by the software are available or compatible with Alpine's environment.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I’ve considered using alternative lightweight Linux distributions that have broader support or creating custom Docker images that include the necessary dependencies for Alpine. However, these alternatives often involve additional complexity or don’t fully address the issue of native support for Alpine.

Additional context
Alpine Linux is favored for its minimal footprint and security features, making it a popular choice for containerized applications. Adding support for it could improve adoption and ease of use for developers and system administrators who prefer or are required to use Alpine Linux.
