Azure-pipelines-agent: VSTS Agent Installation on Alpine Linux

[BrendanThompson]

Hi there,

Trying to get some automation done with building VSTS Agents, and am having a few issues. Below are the details. (Not TFS On-Prem)

|Operating System|Agent Version|
|---|---|
|Alpine Linux|v2.124.0|

What's not working?

After downloading and extracting the latest version of the vsts-agent-* agent (_I have tried both Ubuntu and Rhel_) and then attempting to execute

/vsts/bin/Agent.Listener

I get the following error:

./bin/Agent.Listener: No such file or directory

Although the file clearly exists, and is executable. I presume its because there isn't support for Alpine, however would like some confirmation. If there is no support for Alpine are there plans to support it in the future?

alpine linux is not yet supported by net core

https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/226

when they support it, we will

[bryanmacfarlane]

reactivate if that doesn't answer your question

I think that today there is a full .NET support as documented here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-alpine .
This is related to the #2931
Can we resume this one?

@bryanmacfarlane Any plans? It would very nice to decrease the size of images and limit CVEs warnings.
