The binaries built into these images are not signed by the Node.js release team which may also be a surprise and/or concern to end users.\r\n\r\nI understand the constraints with making those builds an official platform. But, I do think this information is not surfaced well enough today. Users of the pre-built Docker images are unlikely to be looking at the building file in Node.js core repository.  It's also easy to see the 'Docker Official' status and assume the contents are as official/supported as the other builds the project provides.\r\n\r\nI think we should consider adding a note (or warning?) to the https://hub.docker.com/_/node/ webpage indicating the Alpine Docker images make use of an experimental platform provided by https://unofficial-builds.nodejs.org/.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/BethGriggs","@type":"Person","name":"BethGriggs"},"datePublished":"2023-12-13T16:54:24.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":16},"url":"https://github.com/2011/docker-node/issues/2011"}
