docker is bloated. i'm almost certain half of every image is dead weight. unused apt packages, full distros for a single binary, shell configs nobody touches. but the incentive is to make things work, not make them small. so bloat wins.
still, i use it every day and i don't see what replaces it. every "docker killer" solves one problem while ignoring the 50 things docker does well enough.
- stephbook 7mo agoDocker released "Docker Hardened Images" last year and made them free. They contain less bloat. Buying more RAM for your server or only touching a select few images that are run most often is also a way to make things work. It might not be the most elegant software engineering approach, but it just works.
