miniconda3 on alpine linux about docker-images HOT 13 CLOSED

@Maxyme Not maintainer, but FYI. I've tried building on both alpine and debian... the size difference is pretty minimal.

from docker-images.

@jontonsoup Could you share the Dockerfile?

from docker-images.

Just to mention, from docker image ls

• python3 alpine : 92MB
• continuumio/miniconda3: 571MB

Either miniconda is not that minimal, or alpine is much smaller, or both!

from docker-images.

@andreacassioli i threw it out after the test, but your comparison above is not accurate. python 3 alpine doesn't include all the dependencies miniconda includes. Its not a fair comparison. In my experience, its all the libraries that take up the space.

from docker-images.

Also continuumio/miniconda3: 571MB is wrong, we use hardlinks, I suspect you are counting them twice.

from docker-images.

Oh and we also keep the tarballs present for all packages, these can be cleaned via conda if you are attempting to reduce a docker image size. Miniconda is comprised of about 33 packages.

@mingwandroid Thanks for the suggestion! It would be nice if Continuum could provide a microconda image. I mean, of course one could go an tweak it, but if you could work out a very minimal image would be great.

from docker-images.

We do, actually: https://hub.docker.com/r/continuumio/miniconda/

See also #77, which shaves of 70MB or so

Miniconda is not that minimal. It outweighs the entire debian image by several times. I don't think that debian vs alpine is yes the limiting factor.

from docker-images.

This has been done.
continuumio/miniconda3:4.7.12 is 151MB
continuumio/miniconda3:4.7.12-alpine is 55MB

Nice.

awesome
