The current Dockerfile uses precompiled local binaries which is not quite the way it should be. When building the docker image the application should be built from source. Thanks to @jgiannuzzi there was already a very clean and slim way to do this with a Python 2.7 Alpine image (see https://github.com/jgiannuzzi/docker-pypi-server/blob/master/Dockerfile).
Sure, one could use jgiannuzzi/pypi-server but I firmly believe that it would be better if the application author maintains a correct Docker setup. Therefore I am creating a PR using the application sources in the repository to build the image - @jgiannuzzi uses the release on PyPI.
@mosquito this also allows you to link the GitHub repo directly to Docker Hub and automatically build pypi-server images from master and release tags.
Furthermore it totally makes sense to use a slim base image based on Alpine instead of a bigger one like CentOS, etc. For this application to run Alpine is 100% sufficient and keeps the final image small.
For now I linked my fork to build automated images on https://hub.docker.com/r/25thfloor/mosquito-pypi-server/ - feel free to have look. Of course I'd prefer if @mosquito accepts the PR and I can delete this image afterwards and use the "official" one.
