All images are built to have the smallest image size possible without sacrificing functionality. To that end, almost every image begins either with the Alpine Linux base image or from scratch.
DockerHub currently supports autobuilding images for the x86 architecture only. Therefore, autobuilds
will not be used. The images will be built elsewhere and pushed to DockerHub. Currently, most of the
images are built with Google Cloud Platform's Cloud Build by using a custom docker-buildx image,
which is Docker built with buildx support, and are then pushed to Docker Hub. This way the images
are being built for multiple architectures.
This image is based on the popular Alpine Linux
project, available in the alpine official
image. Alpine Linux is much smaller than most
distribution base images (~5MB), and thus leads to much slimmer images in
general.
This variant is highly recommended when final image size being as small as possible is desired. The main caveat to note is that it does use musl libc instead of glibc and friends, so certain software might run into issues depending on the depth of their libc requirements. However, most software doesn't have an issue with this, so this variant is usually a very safe choice. See this Hacker News comment thread for more discussion of the issues that might arise and some pro/con comparisons of using Alpine-based images.
To minimize image size, it's uncommon for additional related tools (such as
git or bash) to be included in Alpine-based images. Using this image as a
base, add the things you need in your own Dockerfile (see the alpine image
description for examples of how to install
packages if you are unfamiliar).
As with all Docker images, these likely also contain other software which may be under other licenses (such as Bash, etc from the base distribution, along with any direct or indirect dependencies of the primary software being contained).
As for any pre-built image usage, it is the image user's responsibility to ensure that any use of this image complies with any relevant licenses for all software contained within.
