[Proposal] Use alpine containers #40

Closed soyuka closed 6 years ago

ruslantalpa commented 6 years ago

i am not sure about this yet, the idea was to have all the containers derived from the same base (debian) so when one of them downloads the OS layer, all of them have it. Also debian is just a little bit easier to extend (not all things are easy to compile, haskell needs glibc).

Do you have other reasons for this change?

soyuka commented 6 years ago

To me it's mainly a size issue, especially in a dev environment if you want to set up postgrest in a few minutes! Apart from that no particular reason! Indeed postgrest and pg-amqp-bridge both depend on jessie, maybe some day they could have their own docker repository with more base os'es available!

Closing this!
