Alpine S6-Overlay Base Image

This docker base image contains Alpine Linux with the Skarnet S6 supervisor, and the S6 overlay installed. It has no function on its own and is intended to be used as a base for other docker images.

The latest tag points to alpine:latest and s6-overlay 3.1.6.2. This is the only image actively being updated. There are tags for older versions, but these may no longer be using the latest Alpine version and packages.

Docker-Compose

This is an example docker-compose file:

services:
  alpine:
    image: nephatrine/alpine-s6:latest
    container_name: act_runner
    environment:
      TZ: America/New_York
      PUID: 1000
      PGID: 1000
    volumes:
      - /mnt/containers/alpine:/mnt/config

Basic Gist

This base image creates slightly chunkier base images. The images are still really small and performant, but include some niceties that other containers don't bother including like cron, logrotate, and bash. It also includes a non-root userid which can be mapped to a userid outside the container for the purposes of keeping permissions sane on the mounted data volume.
