There is more info here but dockerhub isn't showing it...

An attempt with GUI is here:

https://hub.docker.com/r/neteler/docker-alpine-grass-gis-gui

based on  https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/blob/master/docker/alpine/Dockerfile_alpine_wxgui

Agreed... it is all due to lack of time but writing documentation
could be done by "anyone".

I haven't but others likely yes.
I'd suggest a multi-stage docker build approach to "blend" the
different images together.

We do that inside while building it (in this case "actinia" which uses
above docker images as the basis) with a convenient CSV file listing
the addons and their respective repos:
see

HTH,
