Adding Alpaquita Linux support

Open Taiyou06 opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

Enhancement Type

A completely new feature

Describe the enhancement

Alpaquita Linux is said to be faster than compared to alpine linux, so it might be worth adding support to it. https://bell-sw.com/alpaquita-linux/

Their site says its free to use and they already provide docker support :yum:

Thanks for pointing that out.

It looks like a lot of the tuning and benefits come from the kernel layer, in which case the container's use of their base image may not help much since containers run in the host's kernel.

So, if anything the onus is more on you to run Alpaquita on your bare metal or VM host and then run the Minecraft docker container on that to gain the most benefit.

With that said, I don't mind trying to add a build variant to use a base Java image from theirs, but my expectations for tangible benefits are low. For one thing I have previously found Bellsoft's Liberica Java images to be quite bloated, but they seem to have addressed that with this one.
