So im a total newb about app and dockers but im using one that is in beta that is 4-5 times larger than any other app in the docker image file. i have read about docker build --squash to reduce layers to save space. how would i do that to an app in the store or is that something i would have to create a fork for? i tired it in the post arguments in advanced to see if that would do it but no luck but then again maybe im missing something in the line. 

 

If this is somthing already covered my apologies i could not find it in a search 

 

Thanks in advance for any help with this

What app?

 

If it's simply the size of the layers etc and not the app storing data into the image, I wouldn't particularly worry about it as storage is cheap.

yes but docker.img is on the SSD and im trying to also help other people with smaller ssd drives that are using it. its 7.6 gigs on a fresh install so i think its layers. the app is Tdarr_AIO and its still in beta so im sure the dev has more things to worry about at the moment.

You'd have to fork the project and rebuild it yourself.

 

(Trying a pull of it right now, and it does certainly appear to be rather ignorantly large)

yeah i have no idea how to do that or were to start. was hoping i could add a line somewhere to see if it breaks it.
