This may be a silly question, but I'm trying to create a docker container to house pants using alpine linux (the package I'm trying to build needs to be migrated to alpine, and the python dependencies aren't happy if a buster based container builds the pex but an alpine base runs the pex). I tried using pants 1.30.0 (current baseline and we plan to upgrade early next year to 2.X), however the install fails and reports that the highest applicable version for alpine is 1.7.0. Does that mean that alpine linux isn't supported by pants?

Not supported yet https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/prerequisites#linux

Cool, thanks!

it’s a tangent (sorry), but Pants

2.15.x

includes a feature that can enable this: https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.15/docs/environments
