ACE container image is TOO LARGE! about ace-docker HOT 2 OPEN

Hi,

In terms of the issue around layers, I would recommend putting multiple of your commands onto a single RUN command - this will enable you to perform a number of your commands in a single layer. This is a great blog all around developing effecting images - https://emmer.dev/blog/reducing-docker-layers.

The size of the image is something we are looking at in the future. As you will see in this repo we have got some experimental work around reducing the image sizes in https://github.com/ot4i/ace-docker/tree/main/experimental/ace-minimal. Is there a size of image that you think is the max target. For this issue I would recommend raising an Idea
l in https://integration-development.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/?project=APPC.

Note this repo is not designed for support tickets for CP4I or ACE, it's purely for the samples provided in this repo.

Thank you for the quick reply and suggestions.
The image size is starting to become a big problem especially since the ACE + ACE Manufacturing pack (now supports container deployments) image is large with our EDGE sites having very limited local storage/ephemeral storage. I would think the image size would be within 500MB at the most which isn't the case with ACE at the moment.
