    With the addition of Alpine Linux containers are now barely bigger than the application itself.

      Yeah, on bsd jails are basically shared because of zfs, I should use more alpine, but more complex applications often need something closer to debian, and my alpine fu isn’t very good yet.

      We really, REALLY need a dockerfile for lxc so you call lxc-build and it pulls and compiles/configures everything for you automatically.

      Thats the dream.

        I want to look into NixOS. They basically have a one file config and install for your entire system. Wonder how well it works in lxc.

            Sadly my daily driver is getting pretty old and slow so i typically dont put big distros on lxc. Maybe NixOS can he configured to be super slim. New weekend project.
