Research direction

Start with the repository's Dockerfile and identify the current base image and system-level requirements it installs. Switch the base to Alpine Linux, then verify that the listed requirements remain available through Alpine's package repository and that the image builds successfully.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The image is only 5 MB in size and has access to a package repository that is much more complete than other BusyBox based images. This makes Alpine Linux a great image base for utilities and even production applications.
