Alpine Linux (APK) Live Patching — Test Build

This is a pre-release test build for community validation before merging upstream.

Agent

Built against 361393a — adds full APK live patching support to the agent.

  • Tested: Linux amd64 only
  • Binary: patchmon-agent-linux-amd64

Server

Built against ca561d0 — adds APK output parsing so the server correctly populates the affected package list after validation and patching, including transitive dependencies.

Without this build, the package list in the UI stays empty for Alpine hosts even when patching succeeds.

  • Binary: patchmon-server-linux-amd64

How to test

Replace both binaries on your server, then trigger a patch or validation on an Alpine host.

Bare metal / systemd: Stop the service, replace the binaries, restart.

Docker (bind mount):

volumes:
  - /path/to/patchmon-server-linux-amd64:/app/patchmon-server

Expected behaviour

  • Patch validation on Alpine no longer returns "package manager apk not supported for patching"
  • Dry-run shows all packages that would be u dependencies
  • Affected packages appear in the UI after validation and live patch — no need to open the full output
