mini-docker-rust

Very small rust docker image.

This is an example project on how to build very small docker images for a rust project. The resulting image for a working hello world was about 6.01MB during my tests.

This repo is trying to keep the docker overhead to a minimum without sacrificing performance or the usability implications of using FROM scratch. If you want to reduce the binary size further you might be interested in johnthagen/min-sized-rust.

See for yourself

You don't need to install anything besides docker. Build with docker build -t mini-docker-rust . and run with docker run mini-docker-rust.
