Factorio server on Alpine Linux - is there any hope?

[slondr]

Hi, I am a new Factorio player trying to get set up with a permanent server so me and my friends can play the same game world asynchronously.

My setup is a hypervisor running Alpine lxc containers. Trying to run the headless factorio server gives me an error about glibc versions - ok, I installed gcompat. Now when I try to run it, I get this:

Code: Select all

Error loading shared library libresolv.so.2: No such file or directory (needed by /opt/factorio/bin/x64/factorio)
Error relocating /opt/factorio/bin/x64/factorio: __res_nquery: symbol not found
Error relocating /opt/factorio/bin/x64/factorio: __dn_expand: symbol not found

I believe that libresolv is theoretically supplied by gcompat but clearly the loader does not agree.

Has anyone successfully set up Factorio on Alpine before and can offer some guidance?
