• What, why, how?

Image intended to be used in modern front-end development workflow, to be exact, with Karma test runner via karma-chrome-launcher which uses headless Chromium instead traditional PhantomJS which doesn't play well with Alpine linux.

If you're interested into actual Karma configuration, it looks like:

  browsers: ['ChromiumNoSandbox'],
  customLaunchers: {
    ChromiumNoSandbox: {
      base: 'ChromiumHeadless',
      flags: ['--no-sandbox', '--headless', '--disable-gpu', '--disable-translate', '--disable-extensions']
    }
  }
