Install script fails on alpine 3.20 for official docker image tags

Description

Yesterday official docker images are released with alpine 3.20. The "naked" (like php:8.3-fpm-alpine) alpine tags are upgraded to this version but the install script fails with this error:

FATAL: failed to copy daemon init script to /etc/init.d/newrelic-daemon
FATAL: New Relic agent installation failed.
        Please contact https://support.newrelic.com/
        and report the above error. We have also created a tar file with
        log files and other system info that can help solve the problem.
        If the file /tmp/nrinstall-20240523-054511-10.tar exists please attach it to your bug report.
        We apologize for the inconvenience.

Steps to Reproduce

build this dockerfile

FROM docker.io/library/php:8.3-fpm-alpine

ENV NEWRELIC_VERSION=10.21.0.11
ARG TARGETPLATFORM

# this directory needs to exist for the copy command in the production stage to not fail
RUN mkdir -p /extension

RUN set -eux ; \
    curl \
      --silent \
      --fail \
      --location \
      --user-agent Dockerfile \
      --url https://download.newrelic.com/php_agent/archive/${NEWRELIC_VERSION}/newrelic-php5-${NEWRELIC_VERSION}-linux-musl.tar.gz \
      --output - \
      | tar --directory /tmp --extract --gzip --file - ; \
    export NR_INSTALL_USE_CP_NOT_LN=1 NR_INSTALL_SILENT=1 ; \
    /tmp/newrelic-php5-*/newrelic-install install ; \
    cp "$(php -r "echo ini_get ('extension_dir');")/newrelic.so" /extension/ ; \
    rm -rf /tmp/*;

Your Environment

Additional context

Building the docker container with alpine 3.19 works. So if you have this issue, set docker tag to something like php:8.3-fpm-alpine3.19

possible workaround for the bugged install script:

mkdir /etc/conf.d && mkdir /etc/init.d

Alpine 3.20 removed these empty directories, and the install script expects these directories to be present. I'm not sure where the newrelic-install script source is located, but reading it i found another bug:

In the doc it says NR_INSTALL_INITSCRIPT, but later on NR_INSTALL_INITFILE is used. You could set this to a temp folder, so you dont need to create the /etc/init.d/ folder. But no such mechanism exists for the /etc/conf.d problem, because the path is hardcoded:

    elif [ "${ostype}" = "alpine" ]; then
      sysconf=/etc/conf.d/newrelic-daemon
    fi

Below is the commands that works for me in php:8.1-fpm-alpine

RUN mkdir -p /etc/conf.d && mkdir -p /etc/init.d
#Install Newrelic Agent
ENV NEW_RELIC_AGENT_VERSION=10.12.0.1
RUN curl -L https://download.newrelic.com/php_agent/archive/${NEW_RELIC_AGENT_VERSION}/newrelic-php5-${NEW_RELIC_AGENT_VERSION}-linux-musl.tar.gz | tar -C /tmp -zx \
    && export NR_INSTALL_USE_CP_NOT_LN=1 \
    && export NR_INSTALL_SILENT=1 \
    && export NR_INSTALL_INITFILE=/tmp/newrelic-daemon \
    && /tmp/newrelic-php5-*/newrelic-install install \
    && rm -rf /tmp/newrelic-php5-* /tmp/nrinstall*
