Alpine module packaging like Debian is a good approach.
But for docker is not easy to install additional packages. Required to
write own Dockerfile and then build the image and push to the repo. Then
you can use your own image.
If you can write Dockerfile and build an image, then you can do it anytime.
For other people, it requires some learning.
Moreover, Alpine images are tiny (30Mb in the repo and 70Mb on the local
PC), and if we remove half of the modules we do not make it much smaller.

Hi!
Sorry if I’ve brought this up before. Was looking at the package
definitions in our repo today and
did go through Alpine. It’s not following the template set by the Debian
packages,
it’s one huge package with all possible dependencies.
Since there’s a cost and a risk with adding dependencies and very few
Kamailio installs
use all modules this doesn’t look good to me.
I personally don’t know the details of Alpine packaging, but can help
trying to define
a set of packages like in Debian and test them in Alpine.
It would be good for the project overall if we can fix this.
Btw, the same goes for the docker image that is built with scripts in the
packaging
repository. Being able to minimise the build would be a good thing.
Kamailio greetings!
