VIOX Docker base

VIOX is a modular, premium music server and player designed for clarity, determinism, and a glassy, touch‑friendly user experience. It combines a strongly typed backend, a composable UI architecture, and a deterministic audio pipeline built for modern playback systems.

VIOX Docker base is the base image used for Docker builds of VIOX Music Server

The Debian Trixie build is deprecated. The Alpine image is more leaner and optimised for the Raspberry Pi
