Thank you for this, but this is still a "pin to old version" and with even more problems, than just using Alpine 3.9. Is mongo on alpine really such a niche case that there is no official up to date support?

@DannyB I'm not sure, but since this is a community package I guess it depends on things like maintainers availability and whether Mongo will offer official support.

@DannyB Even the OpenJDK project, for example, doesn't have yet full Alpine support, and openjdk packages are community built. OpenJDK official docker has ditched the Alpine community builds, and now uses only certified glibc OpenJDK binaries - on glibc-enabled Alpine containers. I'm not sure if it would work for you, but if you enable glibc on the Alpine container (so it's not pure musl libc anymore), you could use the mainstream Linux Mongo build, and still enjoy much of Alpine's image size saving.
