My old build was 400MB it's now 100MB.

milo•2y ago

cheers so if it is okay can u go to ur last deployment using nixpacks and send the table at the toop of the build logs?

That?

milo•2y ago

yup cheers do you need openssl?

luna•2y ago

I was forcing v18 since I needed fetch.

milo•2y ago

you dont install it in ur dockerfile

luna•2y ago

dont think so. Im using alpine and i didnt add ssl myself.

milo•2y ago

maybe alpine does some funny stuff

luna•2y ago

nah you need to usually add it yourself. all the images at work have alpine + openssl installed so i know it's for sure missing by default

milo•2y ago

can u send ur like prisma file prisma schema

luna•2y ago

here, one better https://github.com/ImLunaHey/jive/

milo•2y ago

ahhh thank you

luna•2y ago

https://github.com/ImLunaHey/jive/blob/main/prisma/schema.prisma

milo•2y ago

gonna work on making this better hopefulkly

luna•2y ago

the only unconventional thing im doing is using tsup to bundle all the deps inline, but that's no different to using esbuild, webpack, etc. plus the savings just from using 2 images is huge, the second(final) only gets the production deps.

milo•2y ago

problem is with nixpacks, we have to copy over all deps as we dont know which is which like, if a prod app needs a dev dep to start or something

luna•2y ago

yeah, we also use this at work to easily remove things from node_modules like markdown files and such people forget to remove from the deps before publishing. https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-prune We saw 50% reduction in some of our node_modules from that alone. if a prod app needs a dep to start it's a dep not a devDep, idk why people confuse those.

milo•2y ago

well people are idiots lol

luna•2y ago

my main point is it's not really an issue if people use them how they're meant to be used.

milo•2y ago

you kinda unfortunately have to expect it

luna•2y ago

true 😦

Alpine Images · railwayapp/nixpacks · Discussion #825

Alpine Linux is a distribution of Linux that is secure and small. I think we should use it over Ubuntu/Debian whenever possible, which is basically when a plan doesn't require any apt packa...

jackson•2y ago

alpine has openssl v3 by default now, but yeah could install v1 compat

milo•2y ago

what do u think about the issue i sent

luna•2y ago

the more ya know.

jackson•2y ago

would likely cause a TON of issues but could shrink image size a bit

milo•2y ago

how so? 🤔

jackson•2y ago

switching package managers from apt to apk, different system dependencies, stuff like that

milo•2y ago

i said if the plan didnt have any apt packjages

jackson•2y ago

would likely cause some hidden issues in people's projects, stuff like "libmonkey.so.c not found"

milo•2y ago

we could use alpine images

jackson•2y ago

milo•2y ago

monkey!?!

jackson•2y ago

milo•2y ago

:lipbite wait it's not what it looks like

jackson•2y ago

well yeah if it's a bone stock js project then alpine 18 is probably the move

luna•2y ago

what about using debian slim?

jackson•2y ago

that's what i use on several projects could get neb's opinion

milo•2y ago

Neber

luna•2y ago

debian slim would be at least a move in the right direction. Plus add multi-step builds and that'd shave a lot of space.

milo•2y ago

we already do multi stage

luna•2y ago

I mean.. you do but you dont take advantage of it though. Looking at my logs it creates with the build step, then does everything in stage-0. Kinda defeating the whole purpose of multi-step.

milo•2y ago

wait what that sounds broken

something got brokeyn

and then after that stage-0 nothing after stage-0

Brody•2y ago

I too have noticed this, I thought I was just tripping though

milo•2y ago

well thats definetly broken i blame Brody (he uses go)

luna•2y ago

so maybe you dont need to change anything but just fix this lol

Brody•2y ago

Fair

milo•2y ago

Brody•2y ago

I think railway likes shipping 400mb images

nebula•2y ago

hi yeah nixpacks are massive

milo•2y ago

NEB

nebula•2y ago

im gonna be diving in sometime this week

milo•2y ago

nebnebnebn neb something bad is happening

nebula•2y ago

what

milo•2y ago

<#1083064733122441286>

jr•2y ago

Keep in mind that with the layer cache on the registry, the things that we need to upload and pull are often much lower than this Often source changes to node projects result in about 30mb changes Only for specific languages

Brody•2y ago

Oh yeah I know, I'm just joking around

jr•2y ago

We used to use debian slim but moved to Ubuntu since Debian was being annoying with a few packages. Mainly openssl (still used 1). This image size is very comparable though
