[Image Update] Remove unnecessary/Unused packages from base docker image #467

Closed kartikjoshi21 closed 1 month ago

kartikjoshi21 commented 2 months ago

Which image would you like to change?

base docker image

What changes are you requesting?

Text editors : emacs, nano, vim Compression tools: xz, gzip, lz4, unzip, zip, ncompress, pigz

Where are we using these => chkconfig, initscripts

Do we need all of these packages, or are we fine with discarding unused one in base docker image ?

What scenario are these changes enabling?

Removing unused packages from base docker image

By how much does this change change the image size?

Yet to be analyzed after discussion.

Thanks for the suggestion @kartikjoshi21 . Since these packages do not have any vulnerability issues, we do not see a large problem keeping them for now. We also don't collect data on commands users run, so it would be difficult to determine which of these are actually popular vs not used at all.
