Our Docker image is based on Ubuntu Xenial, making it hundreds of MB in size. Reducing it would improve download times and disk usage.
Other well known distributions that can be used as base for Docker images are Alpine and BusyBox. These may not be as straightforward to use as Ubuntu, with more packages needing to be manually installed.
