⁠🏔️ What is Alpine Linux?

Alpine Linux is a Linux distribution built around musl libc and BusyBox. The image is only 5 MB in size and has access to a package repository that is much more complete than other BusyBox based images. This makes Alpine Linux a great image base for utilities and even production applications.

⁠✨ Features

• Minimal size only, minimal layers
• Memory usage is minimal on a simple install
• s6 overlay⁠ enabled for PID 1 init capabilities
• zabbix-agent⁠ (Classic and Modern) for individual container monitoring
• Scheduling via cron with other helpful tools (bash, curl, less, logrotate, nano, vi) for easier management
• Messaging ability via MSMTP enabled to send mail from container to external SMTP server
• Firewall included with capabilities of monitoring logs to block remote hosts via Fail2ban⁠
• Logshipping capabilities to remote log analysis servers via Fluent-Bit⁠
• Ability to update User ID and Group ID permissions dynamically
