I'm almost done migrating all of my images over to baseimage. Most things I'm running come from debian packages, and are designed to run in a full unix environment as a service, so it's a lot easier to just make /etc/my_init/00_myservice.sh which sets up permissions for mounted volumes and calls "service myservice", then lets the OS handle the rest.
The image size doesn't bother me. Storage is cheap, and I can easily clear out the old cruft using "docker rmi $(docker images -q -f dangling=true)". Why should I care about 200mb in the age of multi-terabyte drives?
- Gigablah 12y agoStorage is cheap and plentiful, yes. Can't always say the same for bandwidth or transfer.
- FooBarWidget 12y agoIf people really care about that then VMs wouldn't be so popular, and Docker wouldn't be either. Everybody would be using shared libraries in order to optimize away duplication as much as possible, instead of statically link things in order to make deployment easier.
- regularfry 12y agoYes, because it's totally impossible for the popularity of VMs and Docker to be driven by people who don't have that constraint.
