 # Alwatr Alpine Container
+
+The unofficial docker container image for Alpine Linux. The image is only 5MB and has access to a package repository that is much more featureful than other BusyBox based images.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Stop doing this
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM ubuntu:22.04
+RUN apt-get update -q \
+  && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -qy mysql-client \
+  && apt-get clean \
+  && rm -rf /var/lib/apt
+ENTRYPOINT ["mysql"]
+```
+
+This took **28s** to build and yields a **169MB** image!
+
+### Start doing this
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM alpine:3.16
+RUN apk add --no-cache mysql-client
+ENTRYPOINT ["mysql"]
+```
+
+Only **4s** to build and results in a **41MB** image!
