We are looking for ways to make Appwrite Docker images smaller.

I would take this over. I'm not a Docker expert (started 2 weeks ago to work with it), but i made a good progress so far.

Before (based on ac15834):

REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
appwrite/clamav     ubuntu              e050db8f8fae        10 seconds ago      163MB
ubuntu              18.04               c14bccfdea1c        8 days ago          63.2MB

After:

REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
appwrite/clamav     alpine              b026b81f32d0        11 seconds ago      18MB
alpine              3                   a24bb4013296        3 months ago        5.57MB

Wow, that looks like a huge improvement. I have assigned you the issue.

Feel free to reach out on Discord (https://appwrite.io/discord) if you have any question.

Is there any specific version of alpine docker image is required or latest one will do the work?

I'm using the latest one.

I'm already done, converting this. I'll soon create the PR.
