This guys says that vide.d works

Yes, it's pretty straightforward:
1. Build on Ubuntu, or some other dist
2. Statically link the whole binary with LDC, then you don't
need to use Musl
3. Run it on Alpine

Looks like that works out much nicer than using alpine as the
first stage right now. I'm not sure anyone will be too upset
about the extra 7MB.
Building directly in alpine will simplify automated builds too.
Simple Vibe.d app talking to Redis, packed into docker
containers:

The takeaway is that I could not use Alpine as a host image,
because I could not build the app statically on ubuntu.

I've put up a new binary release of ldc 1.9 for Alpine, which
fixes the vibe.d issues by pulling in two upstream commits from
druntime, adds druntime and Phobos as shared libraries, and
includes dub and rdmd:
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases
I tested by unpacking that release in an Alpine VPS, adding its
bin/ to my path, and simply running the following:
dub fetch vibe-d
dub build vibe-d
The list of Alpine packages needed to run ldc are listed in the
release notes. You can also cross-compile using the regular linux
build of ldc by using ldc-build-runtime, the included tool to
rebuild the stdlib for other platforms, and these instructions
from the wiki:
https://wiki.dlang.org/Building_LDC_runtime_libraries#Usage_for_cross-compilation
I'm looking at adding a flag to dmd to enable building for the
Musl C runtime:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/8020
While the Musl port is mostly there, it appears that yshui didn't
bother porting all of druntime, so there may still be other dub
packages that need other missing C declarations. However, I'm
done working on this port, beyond finishing off the above pull
and the druntime pull linked from the release notes, as I don't
use Alpine, containers, or microservices. I simply chipped in
because I have porting experience and thought I could push D for
microservices a bit farther along. I'll keep putting out official
builds of ldc for Alpine though, as long as there's demand for
them.
If you'd like to use D in Alpine containers, now's the time to
contribute to whatever else is missing. A good idea of the
current status can be found in the first post of the dmd pull
linked above.
This may be a good project for the hackathon, as it's mostly
polishing up a bunch of small things.
