Cannot run executables with Alpine and Busybox images

Difference between require("foo") and require"foo"
If your function call has only one argument and it happens to be a literal string or a table, then you might want to eliminate the parenthesis. Use whatever style you prefer, the later is useful for some DSLs. Let stylua auto format it anyway.

Lua Indentation Woes
Have you tried any external programs to format your code instead? That's what I usually do. Just set 'formatprg', and use gq to format the code. With a quick search I found LuaFormatter, and StyLua, but I can't say if they format the code the way you want. In my experience, external code formaters will do a better job, and they have more options to tweak as well.
