Dockershrink is an AI-powered Commandline Tool that helps you reduce the size of your Docker images
It combines the power of algorithmic analysis with Generative AI to apply state-of-the-art optimizations to your Image configurations :brain:
Dockershrink can automatically apply techniques like Multi-Stage builds, switching to Lighter base images like alpine and running dependency checks. PLUS a lot more is on the roadmap :rocket:
Currently, the tool only supports NodeJS applications.
It can:
- Generate optimized Docker image defintions (Dockerfile and .dockerignore) for new projects
- Optimize existing image definition by including best practices to avoid bloat
[!IMPORTANT] Dockershrink is BETA software.

Why does dockershrink exist?
Every org using containers in development or production environments understands the pain of managing hundreds or even thousands of bloated Docker images in their infrastructure.
High data storage and transfer costs, long build times, underprodctive developers - we've seen it all.
