Alpine Linux because it’s a lightweight OS for Docker host and containers.

True that, but I wouldn't call Alpine a server distro. It's a dedicated container distro. If you start with Alpine, you have to do a lot of tedious manual package installation and configuration to get to a decent standalone server setup.
