envinfo command hangs on Alpine Linux

[ProchaLu]

I have a small project deployed on Fly.io, where I need to check my environment using envinfo. The app is running on an Alpine Linux environment, and when I try to execute envinfo, the terminal stops responding and hangs indefinitely. This seems similar to the behavior described in this previously merged issue.

As the attached video demonstrates, I SSH into the Fly.io console and run the envinfo command. After submitting the command, the server hangs, and no further output is produced. The terminal becomes completely unresponsive.

I could also confirm this myself with [email protected], some files in my repo https://github.com/karlhorky/flyio-test :

• package.json: https://github.com/karlhorky/flyio-test/blob/main/package.json
• Dockerfile: https://github.com/karlhorky/flyio-test/blob/main/Dockerfile

The command I ran on the Fly.io SSH shell (shell accessible through flyctl ssh console) was:

./node_modules/.bin/envinfo

Output:

➜  flyio-test git:(main) flyctl ssh console

This looks like a alpine bug, I will try to post a hack for this alpine system bug

@gengjiawen thanks, that would be great!

I also experienced this (on Alpine), only when using the default (no arguments) or specifying --system.
e.g npx envinfo or npx envinfo --system --binaries --npmPackages.
