Based on the fcntl64: symbol not found, it looks like you don't have new-enough glibc installed on your system.

What minimum version should i use?
For now this is what installed on 8.0-alpine-amd64
/lib $ ldd --version
musl libc (x86_64)
Version 1.2.5
Dynamic Program Loader
Usage: /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 [options] [--] pathname

[cincuranet]

The fcntl64 was introduced in glibc 2.28. But you're using musl and I'm not sure musl has it.
