Loading a 1GB image to run a 50MB executable can be trouble. I used to work while commuting on a train on a daily basis. Unexpectedly needing a big download could ruin my morning.
- peteretep 6y agoWhy are you running such huge images for a 50MB executable?
- cowsandmilk 6y agoWe expect every app developer to suddenly become an expert in efficiently producing docker layers and not just lazily use an Ubuntu desktop image?
- peteretep 6y agoI expect anyone distributing their app via Docker to learn how to use their tooling properly, yes?
- fantod 6y agoAgreed, there are many things to get right about using Docker. But if you're just deploying an app to a somewhere, does it really matter if the image is a bit bloated (within reason)?
- joshuanapoli 6y agoProbably because container authors learned from Docker's getting started video, which demonstrates a 1GB "hello world" image.
