This is a question that doesn't have an exact answer: what base image to use will depend on multiple factors, and even after considering those, you'll probably have multiple alternatives.
Here's an article that talks about this same question, and goes into detail about some tips when choosing. The conclusion ends up being:
To summarize, selecting the appropriate OS base image depends on the following factors:
- What technologies are used to build the application being containerized?
- What is the intended target platform on which these images will run?
- What is the desirable size of the application image? (including all layers and base images)
- Pure Taste!
Still, always make sure to check DockerHub for an existing image of the requirements you're looking to solve. You may be surprised and find exactly what you need!
