I've created an image based on OpenWRT (Linux distro for routers).

Small images are great for decreasing production rolling upgrade time.

Research direction

Review the linked OpenWRT-based image and determine how the repository currently builds its Docker image; the issue names no repository file or test to begin with. Confirm that a smaller base image can replace the current one without losing the existing GitLab functionality, and measure the resulting image size.
