windows docker images are incredibly bloated. I don't think I've seen one that size, but the base image for a windows container is like 17GB by itself, if I remember correctly. Basically just pulling down an entire Hyper-V image.
- Dave3of5 5y ago> windows docker images are incredibly bloated They are no-where near that size ...
- l30n4da5 5y agobase image for .NET Framework is 10GB. they only get larger from there. Largest on my machine right now is showing to take 20GB. Granted there are a lot of shared layers between images, so the amount of space on-disk is much less than 20GB. But if you don't have any of the layers already? You're looking at 20GB easy.
- jiggawatts 5y agoAnd you have to start from scratch each month if you want to keep up with Windows Updates -- they apply to the base image.
- Dave3of5 5y agoThis isn't true... I just downloaded: https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-dotnet-framework https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-dotnet-framework It was about 2.7 / 2.8 GB in size. Total size on disk was 8.7GB but we are talking about download here. I would say you should be moving to .Net 6 it's been several years now that .Net Core has been out so there is no excuse. None of this is an excuse to get a 10Gbps internet connection to your house. I have a 500Mbps connection and with the corporate firewall my laptop gets 100-200Mbps connection and pulling those containers was like 10 minutes.
