Experimenting with using docker-slim to shrink docker images GitHub

Minimizing Docker Builds

Summary

A GitlabCI repository designed to experiment with potential avenues for minimizing the size of a build image.

Notes

  • Experiment with flags from docker:1.13 for minimizing the process
  • Compress the build-context that is sent to the daemon (compress)
  • Squash the layers using the --squash flag
  • Experiment with the tool docker-slim for shrinking the build image
  • Issues with permissions on the tooling are preventing deployment in Gitlab
