Dockerfile Alpine Mariadb latest with SphinxSE

Question

I have a Dockerfile for MariaDB 10.1.26 which I use in connection with SphixSE.

Defining Dockerfiles for versions 10.4.18 and 10.5.9 along the same lines is easy, but SphinxSE cannot be installed.

Specifically the command INSTALL SONAME 'ha_sphinx'; raises an enigmatic error.

What can I do to make it work with these versions, too?

Answer 1

For the time being it cannot be done.

https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/tree/main/mariadb/APKBUILD#n162 shows that the package does not support SphinxSE.

https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb-docker/pull/343 shows that MariaDB does not support Alpine.
