gliderlabs/alpine
Image based on Alpine Linux will help you win at minimalism
1M+
A super small Docker image based on Alpine Linux. The image is only 5 MB and has access to a package repository that is much more complete than other BusyBox based images.
Stop doing this:
FROM ubuntu-debootstrap:14.04
RUN apt-get update -q \
&& DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -qy mysql-client \
&& apt-get clean \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt
ENTRYPOINT ["mysql"]
This took 19 seconds to build and yields a 164 MB image. Eww. Start doing this:
FROM gliderlabs/alpine:3.1
RUN apk-install mysql-client
ENTRYPOINT ["mysql"]
Only 3 seconds to build and results in a 16 MB image! Hooray!
This image is built and pushed using CircleCI. See the repository at https://github.com/gliderlabs/docker-alpine for information on manual building and testing.
