Base docker image on ubuntu

The use of alpine as a base for images has been strongly discouraged
and thus this change drprecates the original Dockerfile (moving it to
Dockerfile_alpine) and creates a new, Ubuntu 18.04 based, Dockerfile
in its place.

The change also bumps the RMR version to the latest (4.7.4)
