Damn, I was legit spinning up a new Ubuntu server VM and thought I'm gonna look up a guide about proper initial config/hardening while it loads up ... You convinced me to give debian a go.
Go Alpine, hardened from the start (almost).
Isn't alpine musl based? Last time I heard it can lead to some very obscure problems when interacting with applications compiled with gcc... so, hows it fare for you?
Yes, but muscl > glibc, anyway, as a container host it does not matter. You can install 99% of all bins only the ones that are not 100% POSIX not (like GlusterFS for example) but in containers everything works.
