The image is only 5 MB and has access to a package repository that is much more complete than other BusyBox based images. ## Why? Docker images today are big. Usually much larger than they need to be. There are a lot of ways to make them smaller, but the Docker populace still jumps to the `ubuntu` base image for most projects. The size savings over `ubuntu` and other bases are huge: ``` REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID VIRTUAL SIZE gliderlabs/alpine latest 9cfff538e583 4.803 MB debian latest 19134a8202e7 123.1 MB ubuntu latest 104bec311bcd 129 MB centos latest 67591570dd29 191.8 MB ``` There are images such as `progrium/busybox` which get us very close to a minimal container and package system. But these particular BusyBox builds piggyback on the OpenWRT package index which is often lacking and not tailored towards generic everyday applications. Alpine Linux has a much more complete and up to date [package index][alpine-packages]: ```console $ docker run progrium/busybox opkg-install nodejs Unknown package 'nodejs'. Collected errors: * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package nodejs. $ docker run gliderlabs/alpine apk add --no-cache nodejs fetch http://alpine.gliderlabs.com/alpine/v3.3/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz fetch http://alpine.gliderlabs.com/alpine/v3.3/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz (1/4) Installing libgcc (5.3.0-r0) (2/4) Installing libstdc++ (5.3.0-r0) (3/4) Installing libuv (1.7.5-r0) (4/4) Installing nodejs (4.2.3-r0) Executing busybox-1.24.1-r7.trigger OK: 29 MiB in 15 packages ``` This makes Alpine Linux a great image base for utilities and even production applications. [Read more about Alpine Linux here][alpine-about] and you can see how their mantra fits in right at home with Docker images. ## Usage Stop doing this: ```dockerfile FROM ubuntu-debootstrap:14.04 RUN apt-get update -q \ && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -qy mysql-client \ && apt-get clean \ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt ENTRYPOINT ["mysql"] ``` This took 19 seconds to build and yields a 164 MB image. Eww. Start doing this: ```dockerfile FROM gliderlabs/alpine:3.4 RUN apk add --no-cache mysql-client ENTRYPOINT ["mysql"] ``` Only 3 seconds to build and results in a 36 MB image! Hooray! ## Documentation This image is well documented.

Join us in [our Slack community][slack] or [submit a GitHub issue][issues] if you have a security or other general question about this Docker image. Please email [security](http://lists.alpinelinux.org/alpine-security/summary.html) or [user](http://lists.alpinelinux.org/alpine-user/summary.html) mailing lists if you have concerns specific to Alpine Linux. ## Inspiration The motivation for this project and modifications to `mkimage.sh` are highly inspired by Eivind Uggedal (uggedal) and Luis Lavena (luislavena). They have made great strides in getting Alpine Linux running as a Docker container.
