Installing HashiCorp tools in Alpine Linux containers

This post provides instructions on how to install the official release binaries for HashiCorp tools on Alpine Linux, a popular choice for container images. The process involves downloading the binary from the HashiCorp release site and verifying its integrity using checksums and signatures. While HashiCorp supports official repositories for many operating systems and distributions, users of Alpine Linux must follow this manual installation method as the binaries are not available through Alpine Package Keeper. The instructions cover building a Dockerfile with build arguments for the product and version, running containers with the new HashiCorp tool base image, and ensuring any additional dependencies required by the tools are installed in the container image before use.
