Docker images can be unnecessarily large; mostly extending a base OS install.
If reducing the size of a Docker image from 130MB to 8MB is of interest, the Docker Strip Utility may provide a solution.
This shell command takes parameters to preserve packages (-p) and files (-f) and removes the rest.
The caveat is that you will need to figure out what packages and files you need to keep so that the app will continue running...
