the ConTeXt dockerfiles from “Island of TeX”

outdated ones
– use Debian instead of Alpine because Linux/MUSL binary wasn’t working
at the time (but should now, otherwise compiling it on the fly is an
option)
Would it make sense to change this?
I opened a new issue there volunteering to help:

Thank you!
I stumbled upon it since I’m using ConTeXt in one Jenkins job at work,
and the (full) TeX live docker image is needlessly huge. If your
proposal of a scheme-context TeX live image works the same as the LMTX
image, even better. I don’t even need modules in this case – I don’t
think all of them are included in TeX live, need to check…
I'm pretty sure Max will manage to get a minimal install (without the
texlive base overhead) + modules working. And then also write a wrapup
how to use that docker efficiently (connect to local file system for a
run and such). Maybe caching is the main challenge.
