If you ask me, installing glibc / compat layers defeats the purpose of using Alpine, especially since Alpine ultimately only saved me ~50 MB on image size versus a similarly configured debian:slim-buster image

I use UBI minimal docker image from redhat which is based on RHEL but free from license :

Pretty small and has most of the things i need :

Minimal images are about 92M on disk and 32M compressed. This makes it less than half the size of the standard images.
