Systemd today finally merged support for building against and using the musl libc library. This is a win for Linux distributions like postmarketOS, Alpine Linux, and others that use musl by default as their standard C library or offer it as an option.
Since September has been a pull request for experimental support for building systemd with musl libc. This requires a new version of musl with a recent patch, which has been backported to some distributions like Alpine Linux and postmarketOS, in order to use musl as an alternative to glibc.
I’ll finally be able to switch from docker compose to podman with quadlets on my server running alpine
you’re using alpine+docker with systemd?
Currently just alpine with docker compose, but I initially wanted to use podman, this was before quadlets were a thing and I found it very cumbersome to configure the networking between containers, also recall having to use kustomize as an extra step, so I gave up and went with compose.
Now there are quadlets with podman, which seem to do everything I need but require systemd. I’d be happy to switch from openrc to systemd just for the sake of using podman.
