Alpine Linux [Docker] [amd64/armhf/aarch64]
50K+
This Container image (yobasystems/alpine) is based on the minimal Alpine Linux.
This Container image is the base Alpine Linux. For more info on versions & support see Releases
Alpine Linux is a Linux distribution built around musl libc and BusyBox. The image is only 5 MB in size and has access to a package repository that is much more complete than other BusyBox based images. This makes Alpine Linux a great image base for utilities and even production applications. Read more about Alpine Linux here and you can see how their mantra fits in right at home with Container images.

Use like you would any other base image:
FROM yobasystems/alpine
RUN apk add --no-cache mysql-client
ENTRYPOINT ["mysql"]
This example has a base image size of only 6MB. Compare that to our good friend Ubuntu:
FROM ubuntu
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends mysql-client \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
ENTRYPOINT ["mysql"]
This yields us a base image size of about 74MB image.
