Alpine Tini

A minimal Docker image based on Alpine Linux with Tini installed as the init process.

Why Tini?

Tini is a tiny init process that helps:

• Reap zombie processes.
• Forward signals to child processes.
• Handle process termination correctly.

Tags

• <alpine-version>: Points to the specific version of Alpine used (e.g., 3.19.1).
