What would you like added?

Have small/thin alpine based images instead of fat ubuntu ones - 

Image name: ghcr.io/actions/actions-runner:2.316.0                                                                                                                                        -

I found really nice instructions how to create custom runner image - https://some-natalie.dev/blog/reduce-cves-arc/ - however I still think this repo should provide some minimal alpine base version
