MariaDB packages for Alpine Linux

 

Hello,

there is an outstanding request in docker-library/mariadb for Alpine
support:
https://github.com/docker-library/mariadb/issues/53

What I know is that we currently don't build packages for Alpine. Alpine is
going to be the platform of choice for Docker containers in the future (you
can read about the various advantages of Alpine here:
https://www.brianchristner.io/docker-is-moving-to-alpine-linux/).

Federico Razzoli has managed to make MariaDB 10.1 work in Alpine with some
caveats (no tokudb, no oqgraph, no galera). You can look at his work here
https://hub.docker.com/r/santec/mariadb-alpine/. I admit I don't know about
portability of Galera lib on Alpine - should probably talk to Codership
about that.

Is there any way we can make this happen?
