Minicon created using the bashc framework
Minicon created using the bashc framework
This version is a simple port to the bashc framework.
This version now has man pages for each command.
In minicon, new options have been included for plugins:
In minidock, a new option has been included, to ease the usage of minicon: --show-cmd-output (that activates output for strace plugin).
bug corrected: the commandlines were not properly managed in case that we had pipes.
This release includes minicon, mergecon and importcon
docker run myimage mycommand
into a minidock -i mymage -t myslimimage -- mycommand
.This release includes minicon, mergecon and importcon
minicon aims at reducing the footprint of the filesystem for the container, just adding those files that are needed. That means that the other files in the original container are removed.
mergecon is a tool that merges the filesystems of two different container images. It creates a new container image that is built from the combination of the layers of the filesystems of the input containers. It is useful e.g. to add a OS layer to a minimized container (using minicon).
importcon importcon is a tool that imports the contents from a tarball to create a filesystem image using the "docker import" command. But it takes as reference an existing docker image to get parameters such as ENV, USER, WORKDIR, etc. to set them for the new imported image.
minicon aims at reducing the footprint of the filesystem for the container, just adding those files that are needed. That means that the other files in the original container are removed.
This release includes the first version that ships with folder, ldd, strace and scripts plugins, and it is able to produce images that are importable in Docker.
