As the title says. I build containers for my platforms/clients/myself-selfhosted@home and you would not believe how much smaller you can get your images. Here’s an example when slimming one of my images:

cmd=build info=results status='MINIFIED' by='18.97X' size.original='1.0 GB' size.optimized='55 MB' 

That’s a Python app that I didn’t have to do multi-staged build with docker because of the Slim command. And it’s a working version of that app that I’m using today.

Same for one of my flutter apps that I thought it was as small as it could be:

cmd=build info=results status='MINIFIED' by='1.98X' size.original='66 MB' size.optimized='33 MB'

TLDR: slim your container images!! https://github.com/slimtoolkit/slim

    Yep, same thing I found out! Crazy to see my already quite slim image being reduce all that much!

      *size.original=‘1.0 GB’ *

      I mean… I don’t know what that does, of course, but I would rarely use “quite slim” to describe that :D

      “size.original=‘66 MB’ size.optimized=‘33 MB’”

      This one’s nice though

        Yeah? I meant the 66MB one. The 1GB was an image that I just installed everything necessary to compile my code and run from the same image. I didn’t try to make it “right”. Nice to know I don’t have to worry about it though!
