alpine-t

Docker image based on Alpine Linux ;)

What is Alpine ?

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. More: https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/alpine/

Why ?

Image based ruby:latest vs alpine:latest:
