Description

As of writing, we use phusion/baseimage:focal-1.2.0 (code) as the base image of our Docker image.

Issues:

  • The phusion/baseimage:focal-1.2.0 Docker image on Docker Hub was pushed a year ago and has not been updated since. There are new jammy-* images, but so far we do not support Ubuntu Jammy. Although we do apt-get upgrade when building and running our own images, these commands bloat the image. Ideally the base image should be updated regularly when there are updates to its own base image or packages, even if there are no code changes in itself (also see Rebuild Docker images with the latest security updates from time to time #2667).
  • The phusion base image comes preinstalled with some utilities and services that we don't really need, which bloat the image and potentially introduce vulnerabilities. We can do apt-get remove when building our own images, but this will not reduce our image size.

Nevertheless, we don't want to simply change our base image to ubuntu:20.04, because the phusion base image does have a lot of good stuff.

Potential solutions:
