Docker+UPX 构建更小的镜像

无论是在我们的生产环境或测试环境中，一旦涉及到docker pull和push的时候，我们都迫切希望Docker镜像是一个非常小的file，一方面在网络带宽有限的情况下，image的size越小下载所付出的时间代价就越小，另一方面image始终是一个文件，size对存储空间是有一定影响的，看来这是个提高生产力的问题，那么我们如何去构建一个size很小的image呢？

• 多阶段构建镜像
• 更小的镜像构建

注：多阶段构建是 Docker 17.05 及更高版本提供的功能

查看一下image列表：

$ docker images

通常在我们什么都不考虑的情况下，构建一个golang的应用镜像是非常简单的，只需要pull官方的golang环境，把我们的程序copy进去就可以了，下面我们先创建一个工程的目录如下：

$ tree -L 2   -C
.
├── Dockerfile
└── src
    └── main.go
    
1 directory, 2 files

单阶段构建镜像

• Dockerfile:

FROM golang:1.10.3
WORKDIR /go/src/test
RUN go get github.com/gin-gonic/gin
COPY src src
RUN CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux go build -a -installsuffix cgo -o main src/main.go
CMD ["./main"]

• Build

$ docker build -t zev/test:1.0.0 .

image的size为857MB，内部包含了整个golang环境，这么大的文件在传输中绝对是个灾难，接下来我们用多阶段构建一个相对比较小的image。

多阶段构建镜像

多阶段构建让images缩小了40倍，19.8M的size无论在测试环境还是生产环境都能很好的工作了，但是这样就结束了吗？
当然不是了，我们的目的是让image变得更小，下面看我们的操作。

OK 非常漂亮，到现在我们已经看到image的size已经缩小到7.36MB,这已经非常的小了，换算过来我们的程序只有2.95M。
我们来一张全景对比看下：

$ docker images

REPOSITORY                                 TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE

zev/test                                   1.0.0               a253cfcddd6a        About an hour ago   857MB
golang                                     1.10.3              d0e7a411e3da        6 weeks ago         794MB
alpine                                     3.8                 11cd0b38bc3c        8 weeks ago         4.41MB

那么怎么做到的呢，原理很简单，因为alpine的size已经固定了，能让image变得更小的入手点只能是可执行文件，利用UPX的加壳技术可以压缩main可执行程序，可以把main体积缩小50%-70%。

Tip：UPX（the Ultimate Packer for eXecutables）是一个免费且开源的可执行程序文件加壳器，支持许多不同操作系统下的可执行文件格式。想了解更多关于UPX的信息可以点击这里 ，也可点击这里.

总结：

好的，到此为止本文首先展示了单阶段构建镜像，并得到了一个~857MB的镜像，然后利用多阶段构建了一个只包含可执行文件的镜像~19.8MB，最后我们利用多阶段+UPX压缩把我们的镜像缩小到了~7.36MB,这样的镜像无论在测试环境还是生产环境，都一定能大大的提高我们的生产力。
