How to create small Docker images for Rust

• rustls

  1 3,730 9.2 Rust

  Discontinued A modern TLS library in Rust [Moved to: https://github.com/rustls/rustls] (by ctz)

  

Making HTTPS calls is interesting because it requires a library to interact with TLS, usually openssl. But in order to build the smallest Docker image possible, we need to statically link our program, and statically linking openssl is not that easy. That's why we will avoid openssl and use rustls instead.

• jemalloc

This is why we used jemalloc, a memory allocator designed for highly concurrent applications.

• distroless

  122 17,645 9.3 Starlark

  🥑 Language focused docker images, minus the operating system.

  

We can also use the distroless family of images maintained by Google that use packages from debian, but remove all the useless packages in order to create minimal images. Thus, we no longer need to use the MUSL libc.

If you want to learn more from real-world Rust experience, Security and Cryptography, I wrote a book where, among other things, we create and deploy a Rust service using Docker: Black Hat Rust.
