Alpine in container is typically considered the smallest one can conveniently use (not going through LinuxFromScratch or writing your own OS). I did some tinkering a while back ending up with 14.29MiB memory footprint.

In my case it needs to be a VM rather than a container (because that's what the hosting company offers), but Alpine is looking promising so far. No issues with booting from the ISO and installing it on a system with 256MB. I got my app running on Alpine too. Now I just need to update my Ansible playbook to handle Alpine, and do more thorough testing. Will look into it later in the week.
