Small container images

Small container images are a reality. This repo shows that without extra effort you can

• run go binaries in an empty image, built FROM sratch
• have an image size as low as 6MB

How build

Prerequisites:

• Docker
• Make

Build

make build

The go binary is built with CGO_ENABLED=0 to force a statically linked binary.

Get image size

make size

will yield output similar to

6.07MB
