Update Docker Images to support Alpine Edge release

[markjrouse]

Problem

Currently, only Alpine3.19 is available as a node docker image.

Solution

Is there a timeline for when there will be a node docker image based on Alpine Edge? Alpine Edge is needed for the latest version of tshark 4.2.3.

Warning: edge is under constant development so be careful using it in production. It is possible that bugs in edge could cause data loss or could break your system.

End users should not use edge as their main day-to-day workstation or as a productive system. Because edge is a development branch, many changes are not heavily tested (or tested at all) and packages in edge can and sometimes do break without warning.

I wouldn't generally recommend Alpine Edge as a stable base (similar to Debian Sid).

That makes sense. When will the next stable release be of Alpine with tshark 4.2.3?

That's a question for whoever maintains the package/distro for Alpine, not here.
