Though I haven't written much about Ubuntu which will be the defacto choice for most developers we all know when coming to enterprise development, the size matters! In this case, smaller is better :) Let us conclude our blog here, we have explored how and why alpine Linux is going to be the default choice for developers when building a Docker Image and had a sneak peek under the hood of Alpine Linux because of which it is able to have such a small size. Save your server costing by 87%.ĭownload Alpine Linux from main website here. Ubuntu 12.04 (as well as Kubuntu 12.04) uses the PAE Linux kernel by default for 32bit ISOs so old computers that don't support PAE can't boot the latest Ubu. Though, There are still cases where you would still want to go with Ubuntu most probably that will have to do with the compatability of your application but overall, Alpine Linux is pretty damn insane and you should try it out to see it live in action. Using any other distribution will only come with unnecassary tools that are not required and if you are maintaining a private docker registery than this is the best approach. A Docker container with Alpine Linux is more than perfect.
Now select the correct hard drive from Device for boot loader installation section. Choose this if you have a computer based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2).
#Use axel ubuntu mini iso install#
You will need at least 1024MiB of RAM to install from this image. A Swapfile is a large file which works just like a Swap partition. This type of image is what most people will want to use. Even if you want to add more tools you can easily install it in Alpine Linux that will significantly provide you with so many benefits. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS don’t need an additional Swap partition.Because it uses a Swapfile instead. The truth is we don't need that many tools to deploy our application to create a Docker image. If you are using Docker than you need to have something for the OS layer then the best option is to use Alpine Linux that will reduce your image size to a bare minimum.
