Is there a best practice on setting up glibc on docker alpine linux base image?

Yes there is,

I’ve used a custom built glibc to install a JRE on it.

You can find it here

You can use wget or curl to get the code and apk to install them

UPDATED commands see comments below

apk --no-cache add ca-certificates wget
wget -q -O /etc/apk/keys/sgerrand.rsa.pub https://alpine-pkgs.sgerrand.com/sgerrand.rsa.pub
wget https://github.com/sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc/releases/download/2.28-r0/glibc-2.28-r0.apk
apk add glibc-2.28-r0.apk

It worked perfectly for me
