About the Container

As Base Image i use Alpine Linux which is lightweight Distribution with a small surface area for security concerns, but with enough functionality for development and interactive debugging.

To prevent zombie reaping processes i run dumb-init as PID 1 which forwards signals to all processes running in the container.
