+#### Alpine based image
+
+The default image is based on Debian. You can use the Alpine-based image if you prefer.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Currently, we do not have pre-built Alpine-based image on the GitHub Container Registry. You have to build them locally.
+
+In the compose file, replace every `dockerfile: Dockerfile` by `dockerfile: Dockerfile.alpine`, e.g.
+```yml
+services:
+  cocoon:
+    build:
+      context: .
+      dockerfile: Dockerfile.alpine
+```
+
+You can also build the image locally with
+```bash
+docker build -f Dockerfile.alpine -t cocoon:alpine .
+```
