Can we have the alpine vaultwarden script build from github releases instead of default alpine repository?

The Alpine repository is a few versions behind - I know this isn't a script issue.

But after talking to the vaultwarden maintainer, he suggests that we build vaultwarden from the releases here: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/actions/workflows/release.yml instead of relying on alpine to keep their repository updated.

He suggest that if we only want to build actual versioned releases, just ignore "main" and use the most recent versioned release here, so that the process can be easily automated from a script.

Any thoughts or interest here? TIA!

Then you can use the normal Debian Script? Alpine use apk and this is correct

@MickLesk are you saying that the debian version (which needs much more resources) does indeed build from the releases and not from the stock debian repository?

If so, I will likely switch. I like the idea of much much less resources needed for the Alpine version, but if the debian script gets me the latest version that may be an acceptable trade.

TIA!

Exactly, the Debian builds the current release using GitHub. Unfortunately, it requires quite a lot of resources (only during the build phase), but afterwards it runs stable. Alpine is always only the “slimmed down” version and should consume as few resources as possible, a build apart from apk would increase the resource load just like Debian

Very helpful - thank you
