Hi; for the the `minimal` docker images I believe these are based off Alpine?  
For the `4.0.2-22-minimal` what is the Alpine version?

(aside reason to ask is I've multistage docker build that install node modules - with some native dependencies - and want to match the Alpline version as close as possible)

Thanks MatthewW.

I think we just pull the node 20-alpine image - which currently uses alpine 3.20 - [https://hub.docker.com/\_/node](https://hub.docker.com/_/node)
