⁠What is Alpaquita Linux?

Alpaquita Linux is a lightweight operating system optimized for the deployment of cloud native applications. It is an optimal solution for running applications with various workloads and is characterized by

• Userspace binaries protection
• Four malloc implementations in total
• Optimized standard C library implementation ‘musl perf’, both small and performant
• Base image size of 3.22MB, which is perfect for running small and performant containers
• Docker and QEMU support

Alpaquita Linux requires a small amount of resources to run. The extra modules and additional packages can be installed from Alpaquita apk repository depending on the project requirements. Alpaquita comes in two versions: one based on optimized Musl libc, and the other one on Glibc libc.

⁠What’s in this repository?

This repository contains Alpaquita Linux Stream images with the Nginx web server.

⁠Example

The next code example demonstrates a Dockerfile that creates an image to host simple static content:

FROM bellsoft/alpaquita-linux-nginx
COPY static-html-directory /var/lib/nginx/html

Run the following commands in a directory where the static-html-directory directory is located to build and start your container:

$ docker build -t my-nginx .
$ docker run -d -p 8080:80 my-nginx nginx -g 'daemon off;'

After that, you can reach http://localhost:8080.

If Bundle type is omitted, it is treated as the default one. There are the following Bundle type variants:

⁠default

It contains the minimal set of packages needed to run nginx. It does not contain any dynamic nginx modules.

⁠dynamic

This is as the default one, but also contains the following dynamic modules:

• ngx_http_brotli_filter
• ngx_http_brotli_static
• ngx_http_geoip
• ngx_http_image_filter
• ngx_http_js
• ngx_http_xslt_filter
• ngx_stream_geoip
• ngx_stream_js
• ngx_stream

⁠otel

This is as the dynamic one, but also provides an ngx_http_otel dynamic module.

Nginx version is an Nginx version string. It has a X.Y format, e.g. 1.30.
