Is there a version that works in alpine linux?

[fabregasf]

Hey guys. I usually run Alpine linux, both in Virtualbox and in my RaspPi. Now I need to install this app, to authenticate in some services. But in Alpine the executable: authenticator doesnt work.

Checking info at official page of package show that Ubuntu is the distro compatible. Anyone achieve the installation with success in Alpine or in other distro?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, the application depends on glibc and needs a system with full support of it; AlpineLinux uses musl libc. I tried some of the recommendations from https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Running_glibc_programs but was not able to successfully run Yubico Authenticator. Currently we don’t have a solution for this issue.

My ideas are:

• instead of Yubico Authenticator use yubikey-manager command line tool
• try follow the guides from AlpineLinux wiki to make Yubico Authenticator run

Hi again! One option to run Yubico Authenticator is to use Flatpak, which is one of the options how to run glibc programs on AlpineLinux. I tested this myself and got Yubico Authenticator 7.0.0 working on Alpine Linux 3.19.1 with xfce. Reading QR codes, loading custom icon packs and opening links (like help etc) did not work for me, but I could see my accounts.
