[FEATURE REQUEST] Switch from Arch to Alpine

[EDM115]

This would allow for a smaller image size (potentially from 2 Gb to 200 Mb)

Research to do :

• Packages to use as replacement :
  • Arch's p7zip, repo
    • Alpine's 7-zip, repo
    • Alpine's unzip, repo
    • p7zip is only up to 3.17, repo
    • unrar is only up to 3.14, repo
    • We can build most from source, see 7zip, WinRAR
  • Alpine doesn't have bash by default
  • ffmpeg
  • gcc ? (mostly for building some pip deps)
  • python
  • zstd ? (do we keep support ?)
• Get how their permission system work

first tests :

• doesn't crash
• we have to install the 7-zip package AND compile manually unrar (adds 60s for the build image step)
• the image is around 400 Mb which is WAY MORE acceptable than the previous 2 Gb-ish
• we can probably shrink it down even further
• the code needs special case for rar extracting. although this would allow to finally handle .partX.rar files !
• the upload is messed up currently but it's probably a skill issue introduced in be31292

chore: consistency, switch to unzip-bot or unzipbot/unzip where not p… · EDM115/unzip-bot@be31292
