Alpine stack base

[davidwindell]

Currently there are ubuntu, debian and centos stack base images.

Does anyone have a working example of a working alpine image they could contribute as a new stack base?

@davidwindell https://github.com/eclipse/che-dockerfiles/tree/master/recipes/alpine_jdk8 this one should be ok?

It doesn't seem to have the same setup as the stack-base images, for example no git, chmod of folders, etc

It looks like the new experimental Theia stack is based on an alpine stack. Looking at the definition in stacks.json, it looks like eclipse/che-dev:nightly is serving as an Alpine base, but I have not been able to get this running independently of the Theia sidecar. If we could find the Dockerfile corresponding to this image, maybe we can decouple this dependency to get a generic base? (I have not been able to find this file myself, unfortunately)

@zacharysang I guess this is https://github.com/eclipse/che/blob/master/dockerfiles/dev/Dockerfile a Docker file for eclipse/che-dev:nightly

It looks like this Dockerfile is for a CentOS stack base and my understanding is that Alpine and CentOS are mutually exclusive
