- in this video we explore why i don't use alpine for my production nodejs container images. we take a deep dive into the official node.js docker image and show why it's so bloaty.
we also develop an architectural model that you can use to analyse your own container images and then we deep dive into the alpine image and show why you should use caution for when using it for production images
finally we show how you can get similar results to the alpine image using more production ready distros such as debian or red hat universal base image.
I would have loved to hear something about WHY in the first 6 minutes .... but I don't have 30 minutes to find out.
yeah, definitely not the video for you to watch, it's quite a deep dive
Good explanation Rare to see something this well made on TH-cam and lots of interesting videos that I want to watch later, subbed 🙂
Awesome, thank you! Appreciate the great comments
Loved this video, love to see more on such Docker, node js videos
Glad you like. Was my first video. Wasn’t originally gonna publish, it was a practice video
i like your videos. thanks for all the great information.
Ended up here because I was looking into multi-stage Docker images for nodejs and alpine and came across your video about setting it up. I loved how much Alpine was saving space! Now I'm considering the distroless. Though using Windows doesn't help me much for Dev work. haha Thanks for all the info dude!
Awesome glad it helped... distroless is a great choice in my opinion, as you figured
Also if you watch the build super slim vids I did I cover distroless
@@chrishayuk Hey man, thanks a lot! Definitely will check all your videos out! I'm quite happy I was here before this channel blew up with thousands of subscribers! Keep up this amazing work! :D Cheers
And hellos from Sri Lanka!
@@UltimateKeyboardHero doubt it will blow up, just glad the content is useful
@@chrishayuk too soon to tell, but the content is saved me. Thanks again :)
I've actually had problems with alpine, but running Java. Containers kept failing with out of memory errors and OOM Kill, though this was about 2y ago. Changed to a regular bulky Ubuntu, and the problem disappeared.
someone please make a resume of this 28 minutes video
Yeah sorry, my vids are really about peeling back layers and understanding what’s beneath. I struggle to do this with short videos. Apologies for frustrating you
Yeah. Seriously need a TL;DR. Cannot be bothered helping getting up his watch time. So far as I am concerned Alpine is still the path to go with. Could not be bothered to listen.
Thanks for the video, from Sydney! I just want to suggest rendering your video in slightly higher quality? There is some fragmenting and lagging starting at around 2:50.
yeah, i just did the same in my latest video. i need to figure recording my screen at higher res. on the list. my latest vid has the same issue.. will figure and resolve. thanks for giving me the kick i need to figure this one
Yo Chris! How up to date are your opinions in this video? Any update on your opinions here?
it's a 2 year old video but it's actually not far off still being relevant. I still wouldn't use alpine for production images, i'd still lean towards distroless or UBI. versions are obviously wrong. I'm super lazy so i probs wouldn't build the prod image fully from scratch to get super small... some of the stuff needs to be tidied up to be production ready, locking down users etc.. but yeah it's still pretty relevant
Its February 2023 and alpine still experimental
It's so fucked up that the American pronunciation of quay is "kway", lmao.
