okindev

It is one of the best available Linux base layer images that I have been using for the past few months. It is effortless to configure and build docker images using the same. It is very lightweight and we can configure the same for any container build.

While using alpine Linux in the dockerfile the image that was built was of very lightweight due to it taking very less storage & it became very easily portable. We were using alpine Linux in almost all. the dockerfiles.

Alpine comes with only essential packages to run the Linux distro. The included package manager, APK, works as the same as APT. All commons packages, libraries and tools for typical containerized software services are available today.
