Setting up a APK repository

[hernandev]

Hello, this project is great, the builds are really neat and well structured.

However, there are other cases for someone using Alpine, either to bundle Node into a existing Image or non docker users.

I'm the maintainer of https://github.com/codecasts/php-alpine which instead of providing the Docker image itself, provides APK repository that can be easily installed on any image.

Let me know if this approach interest you, would live to contribute the scripts, porting from what it is now.

Thanks

Thanks for the kind words!

Your APK repository approach looks like a good one and it may very well be a direction this project takes in the future – for now I think it would require more bandwidth than I have right now.

I'll leave this issue open until I explore it further 👍

Ok @mhart

From my experience, bandwidth is not a real problem for me, cause a simple VPS is good enough when cloudflare is on top of it, since it will be long cached, There was not a month where BW was bigger than 5GB.

So, I would host it if not possible from your side.

Also, there are companies that would very much sponsor it.

Thanks!

P.S. This images are now the foundation of my project's Node images:
