Resulting Docker image size ~800MB? Alpine?

[sshilko]

Hello guys, that's a great idea for such service and thank you very much.
But resulting docker image is > 800MB, just for an API that provides access to GeoLite2-City.mmdb.gz (±30mb) the additionnal 770MB sounds like too much.

You are using debian golang 1.9 image (>200mb) maybe switch to Alpine?
This is only issue sofar.

If you rebuild the docker image of the apilayer/freegeoip the size IS 416M (as already noted) looks like you have the old image. (which works fine but doesn't use Alpine)

Not sure if the new built image has been put up for download yet, but easy enough to rebuild in Docker with the appropriate code.

But both Dockerfiles are starting with "FROM golang:1.9" how can they be different, just github paths changed.

i did docker build . but it shows debian

/tmp/freegeoip(master)» docker build .                                                                                                                         [15:34:01]
