docker-machine-parallels VS Lean and Mean Docker containers

To add to this, there are efforts underway to extend Parallels Desktop to support 'native' docker images which can be found on GitHub - https://github.com/Parallels/docker-machine-parallels

SlimToolkit empowers developers to create better, smaller, and more secure containers without sacrificing their existing workflows. Explore the project on GitHub or visit the official website to learn more.

And if you want to make the container quickly secure without bloats, maybe give this a try https://github.com/slimtoolkit/slim

Slim.ai presents the data in a more user friendly way than many of the other tools in this post. On top of its open source SlimToolkit for identifying the contents of an image, Slim.ai uses Trivy for vulnerability scanning.

What about https://github.com/slimtoolkit/slim?

A last practice that I do not use at all and which may interest you is to use slim toolkit to keep only the useful elements in your final image.

Anyone tried using https://github.com/docker-slim/docker-slim To minify an image?..

Distroless images are better left for people with serious need for lightweight images and good Linux knowledge because they require lot of planning with the build so that they stay light and work. If you need lighter images but docker isn't your main tool and you can't afford to take hours and hours of practicing different build strategies you can check docker-slim (https://dockersl.im/). With this tool you can easily size down the images.
