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
