Description

With MiNiFi's goals including being lightweight, it seems logical to try to keep its Docker images as small as feasible. Moving to alpine-based images is an easy step that reduces the image size quite a bit.

Another thing that would make the images smaller would be to use an image with build dependencies to perform the build and one without them for the runnable image.
