What? That's absolutely ideal! It's incredibly simple. I wish deployment processes were always that simple! Docker is not going to make your deployment process simpler than that.
I did enjoy the deep dive into figuring out what was taking a long time when compiling.
One thing I like about Alpine Linux is how easy and dumbproof it is to make packages. It's not some wild beast like trying to create `.deb` files.
If anyone out there is already fully committed to using only Alpine Linux, I'd recommend trying creating native packages at least once.
