updated to use Alpine Linux as the base image.

This update fixes the typ0 in the Dockerfile (thanks @ignar) and creates a _much_ smaller image (<8 MB)

+    Thanks to @ignar I took another look at the dockerfile and have updated it to use [AlpineLinux](http://www.alpinelinux.org/) 
+    This results in a _much_ smaller image (<8mb) and is still just as fast and functional. 
+    Thanks @ignar for bringing this container back to my attention :)
