UPGRADE NOTES

• As always, make sure to use apk upgrade --available when switching between major versions.
• The faccessat2 syscall has been enabled in musl. This can result in issues on docker hosts with older versions of docker (<20.10.0) and libseccomp (<2.4.4), which blocks this syscall.
• ClamAV has been moved to community due to lack of long-term upstream support.
• LuaJIT package has switched from unmaintained MoonJIT fork to OpenResty’s maintained branch ( more info)
• NGINX package changed the default directory for the vhost configs from /etc/nginx/conf.d to /etc/nginx/http.d ( more info).
• collectd package has been split into into subpackages for plugins ( more info).
• npm package has been moved into a standalone aport ( more info).
• In nftables, the rate limit for echo-request has been removed from the default ruleset.
• fail2ban has been disabled for the time being due to many tests failing. As an alternative, sshguard might be used.
