Replace ubuntu-debootstrap with docker-alpine?

[matthewmueller]

Not sure about the feasibility since the goal of this project is to emulate the cedar stack, but right now the average node container is over 1GB. I'd love to see ubuntu replaced with docker-alpine to reduce the container size.

unless Heroku decided to replace their cedar stack on top of Alpine, I doubt this would ever happen due to the differences between the two. For example, here's some caveats between musl libc and glibc: https://github.com/gliderlabs/docker-alpine/blob/master/docs/caveats.md

Also this project has been deprecated in favour of heroku/cedar, so you should probably introduce the question there :)

Can you leave a note in the README regarding the deprecation of the project @bacongobbler?

[bacongobbler]

sure.
