That's not the whole story. How did you start container alpine3173?

You might have said it somewhere, but I haven't the time to search
through all messages. And it is also not guaranteed that you have done
it the same during this test run.

I need a simple recipe I can start with. That's why I ask for.

Best regards, Michael.
