Thanks for testing this.

Alpine Linux is not supported - Node.js does not provide pre-built binaries for this platform.

Alpine uses MUSL-libc whereas the binaries provide by Node.js require GLIBC.

The update correctly identified your platform as not supported by this feature 😄

I'll have an updated Docker image with 12.18.1 up tomorrow - the binaries are still cross compiling...

[mbierman]

o.k. no problem. Maybe the docs can be updated a bit to clarify that this bistro isn't supported.

[oznu]

Next release will detect Alpine / Docker and tell you why:

Awesome. Thanks, @oznu.
