This is awesome! I admit the Docker container was a bit of an afterthought but I’m happy to take any improvements.
I’m out of town until Sunday but I’ll fully review this (and your other issues/PRs, thanks again!) once I get back and get them merged in
Anytime. Glad I could help. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Have a great week.
When you don't use apt-get's --no-install-recommends flag, you install all the recommended packages for the package and the package itself. By implementing this parameter, I was able to decrease my image size by ~20% on my various arch. builds. I haven't calculated the build time savings yet.
