There's probably still a lot of improvements to make here, but this is a pretty big size reduction to begin with
If we want to take things further, here's a breakdown of where the bytes come from:
We can see from the logs that this line is adding
194MB
to the image:tau/Dockerfile
Line 22 in 818fd87
I'm not too familiar with the dependencies of the project, so I'm not sure which ones might be adding this;
Also, the fact that we need to install git in order to install the supervisor adds an additional
82.6MB
to the image.The lower bound using
python:3.8-slim
is around130MB
- if we want to go any smaller, we'd need to switch to alpine.Testing
I tested this by deploying the image to my existing TAU instance - everything still appears to be working, and I don't see any app errors in the logs.
