Support debian? #1
Description
Alpine is nice and all that, but can we make a version for debian/glibc?
tasks:
- make a Dockerfile.debian
- Adjust build.sh/env.sh to switch Dockerfiles
- Adjust the CI/CD
The advantage of using a glibc is solely based on the fact that some organizations prohibit Alpine images due to issues with musl and Python stack sizes acting badly (solved for years now), lack of precompiled Python wheels, dependency on glibc or a decision that glibc is worth the effect despite its size as it often has hand tuned assembly supporting common patterns.
A choice of Alpine is meant for security and size. A choice of Glibc is meant for performance and compatibility.
