I've just published RHEL8/CentOS8 aarch64 packages for nginx stable on
http://nginx.org/packages/rhel/8/aarch64/.  The mainline will follow the
suit soon, as well as proper documentation on
http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html.

With Alpine, it is proving to be more difficult than we thought, as
there are problems runing those on AWS EC2 which we use on our build
farm: https://github.com/mcrute/alpine-ec2-ami/issues/28 .
