Hi,

I've built the OpenSmalltalk VM on Alpine Linux for use with Pharo.
Entire build process happens within Docker. Take a look:

  https://github.com/pharo-contributions/Docker-Alpine/tree/master/vm.build

The modified source to build on Alpine comes from my fork:

  https://github.com/PierceNg/opensmalltalk-vm/tree/pierce_alpine_839a5ca

The hex string at the end of the branch name is the OpenSmalltalk
commitish the branch is based on.

This VM runs my blog in an Alpine Linux Docker container.

HTH.
