The Dockerfile for these images would copy in the image file then run
qemu-img resize IMAGE DISK_SIZE
, because of the way container layers work that means you end up with two copies of the image in the container, one of which is unusable. This effectively doubles the container size.Also I added
--no-install-recommends
as without it hundreds of unneeded packages such as fonts are installed.This takes the Ubuntu image from 2.24GB to 950MB
