Glider Labs' minimal Alpine Linux Docker base image, roughly 5 MB, with access to Alpine's full apk package repository. It serves as a tiny, fast-building alternative to Ubuntu or Debian base images for containers.
Use cases
- build minimal docker images
- small base image for containers
- reduce docker image size
- lightweight base image with package manager
- replace ubuntu base image with alpine
- fast docker builds with small footprint
When to choose
- you want the smallest possible container base image with a real package manager
- build times and image size matter more than glibc compatibility
- you need a minimal base for CLI utilities or production services
When to avoid
- you need glibc-specific binaries or compatibility
- you want an officially maintained base image with frequent updates
- you rely on musl-incompatible native dependencies
