Alpine Linux is extremely lightweight (around 5MB base image), security-focused, and uses musl libc instead of glibc. It's the most popular base image for Docker containers due to its minimal size and security hardening.
Yes, but with caveats. Alpine is excellent for containerized applications and lightweight services. However, some software may have compatibility issues with musl libc (expects glibc). Test thoroughly before production deployment.
Alpine uses APK (Alpine Package Keeper). Install packages with "apk add package-name". The package repository is smaller than Debian/Ubuntu but includes most common server software.
Yes! Alpine has excellent Docker support. In fact, Alpine is the most popular base image for Docker containers. Install Docker with "apk add docker" and use Alpine-based images for minimal container sizes.
Choose Alpine for minimal resource usage (ideal for containers, edge devices, or budget VPS), enhanced security (smaller attack surface), and faster boot times. Choose Ubuntu for broader software compatibility and community support.
Yes. Alpine has comprehensive documentation at wiki.alpinelinux.org. The community is smaller than Debian/Ubuntu but very active. Most common server setups are well-documented.
Musl libc is a lightweight, standards-compliant C library (alternative to glibc). It's smaller and more secure but some proprietary software expects glibc. Most open-source software works fine with musl.
Yes! Alpine can run Nginx, PostgreSQL, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and most modern web stacks. However, proprietary software (Oracle DB, commercial apps) may require glibc and won't work on Alpine.
