you could ask the arch maintainer directly to get an accurate answer why his image is that fat. i suspect that there is some sort of email on his page on dockerhub
Compare package lists of these images.
I'm new to this concept, where this information is listed?
For Ubuntu, run apt list --installed For Arch, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Querying_package_databases, not sure which command is the equivalent. You might need to alter the output so that you have only names of packages.
Thanks, I would want to know it before actually pulling the images. Something like distrowatch which lists the details of pre-installed packages for each distro.
Read the docker build script then? Or is that not a thing?
Are you trying to save space or what?
He talks about base images, those must be just rootfs tarballs copied into the container with no extra build steps.
Ye but how did they get those in the first place should be public, no?
Distros do have public storage of CI/CD scripts and artifacts, but finding what you need there can be painful.
