Hi,

I noticed Orthanc Docker uses Debian as the base image, but according to Phoronix's tests, Debian is slower compared to Clear Linux and Alpine in container environments.

Clear Linux and Alpine are both lightweight and optimized for containers, which could improve build times, memory use, and overall performance. It might be worth trying one of these for Orthanc docker to see if it speeds things up.

Thanks for considering this!

Trying other base images can require many days of work and we have no plan to work on that in the near future. However, the build scripts are available and anyone can try ...
