This issue, like the ALB on BSD Systems #37 and the ALB on Debian distribution #41, may have specific comments related to this OS.

The initial state from Arch Linux on AP-ALB since release v0.8.x is similar OpenSUSE and FreeBSD. Actually, Arch Linux may be one of the easier that require compile OpenResty to add full support.

Important: when running directly on a VPS Arch Linux and OpenSUSE runs much better. May need some changes on the packages names to reflect new updates, but is viable.

About the Travis-CI status

The current version on https://travis-ci.com/fititnt/ap-application-load-balancer for both Arch Linux and OpenSUSE have similar issue

Result from line https://travis-ci.com/fititnt/ap-application-load-balancer/jobs/271409751#L503

The Docker base image for both did not have the same patchs that other conteinres have. Our Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS images are not imported directly form Official ones, but from MOLECULE_DISTRO=geerlingguy/docker-DistroVersion-ansible:latest.

Humm. The issue on Arch Linux on Molecule & Travis-CI seems to be on docker step. Aka it stopped work just a few seconds after start.
