Use alpine linux instead of debian

[galindro]

What do you think to use Alpine Linux as base image of this project instead of Debian? I can help you if you want.

Hello, yes sure :)

I made a test a few months ago with linux alpine on feature-linux-alpine branch but I'm not very familiar with alpine so i didn't release that.

I installed bash, python and py-yaml and the image works fine but the "service-available" (cfssl, cron, logrotate, runit and syslog-ng-core) need to be adapted to apline also this is the complicated part for me.

Your help is welcome :)

Maybe we also need to rethink more globally how the image works to adapt it to alpine i'm open to any proposition

@osixia
My sincere apologies for my absence in this thread. I needed to stop work with docker for some time because my work. As soon I return, I'll test this feature.
