Why is using devbuild bad? #24

Open levino opened 9 years ago

levino commented 9 years ago

I don't really see the drawback of the devbuild for production. I build images and push them to a private docker repository. The larger the "base image" for my image, the less I have to push on a code change. Please elaborate a little on why onbuild is still better.

With devbuild your final image will took more about ~600MB. So, first download will takes a lot of time. After that, it'll get incremental updates. But, I think having a smaller version is something good.

If you deploy by

docker build -t tag . && docker push tag

the smaller the deltas the better.

Actually I dont see such a big difference in the images. In both cases meteor gets installed right "ONBUILD". Could you please elaborate on the difference?
