thanks @nishant-ebot7 !
@nishant-ebot7 there seems to be one on AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/redpanda/ but it looks like it may need updated.
@dotnwat exactly. Tagged you in slack thread for more context for the ticket
Alpine has a lot of advantages over Debian/Redhat based images when attempting to diagnose problems inside a Kubernetes cluster:
ps
, vi
, less
, nslookup
, ping
, awk
, sed
and all the basics you need for diagnosing network issues.ps
installed - out of the box you're dead in the water.ps
command. The alpine base image is 5.6 MB in size and ships with busybox. I checked with objdump and /opt/redpanda/lib and seems like there's not any significant system dependencies. Maybe you could even shrink the redpanda installation footprint by linking against system libs but I can understand why you'd opt for the simplicity of guaranteed ABI. And some potential blockers

Google's distroless Debian static is probably a better candidate.
We'd have to change the way we build node.
Linux native packages for redpanda are available for systems which use
yum/apt
package managers. Would be really cool to have anaur/community
package so that arch users can also natively install redpanda usingpacman/yay
