Hi list,
Vincent Massol has asked for code review after official docker image
annoncement and though I am no Docker expert, I have found a few leads to
reduce image size and might have some suggestions to improve it.
With 3 little changes I have gained about 500 MB, but I still have to make
sure everything still works.
- 200 of those MB where gained by a commonly used trick : adding
"--no-install-recommends" option to apt-get.
Some packages that are commonly installed with libreoffice might have been
skipped and I still have to determine if it's OK or not.
- The other 300 MB are safe. Most of it comes from "RUN chown -R
tomcat8:tomcat8 /var/lib/tomcat8" being moved inside the same layer as the
curl xwiki.war && unzip.
This is great! Thanks so much for reviewing it and proposing ideas :)
For my knowledge, could you explain quickly how this wins 300MB (it seems magical :))?
Also, the image take “only” 900MB (see
https://hub.docker.com/r/xwiki/xwiki-mysql-tomcat/tags/) so I don’t understand why it
takes 1.6GB for you.
Thanks a lot

As soon as I have checked this works, I'll do a pull request.
In the meantime, code is online on
