About:
docker-squash is a utility that reduces the size of Docker images by merging multiple layers into a single one. This process optimizes storage and speeds up image transfers by eliminating redundant filesystem data. It is particularly useful for cleaning up build artifacts before deployment.
Key Features:
  • Merges multiple image layers into one
  • Compatible with Docker and OCI image formats
  • Reduces image size for faster distribution
  • Preserves image metadata and configuration
Use Cases:
  • Optimizing CI/CD build artifacts for faster registry uploads
  • Reducing production image size to save storage costs
  • Merging layers to hide proprietary source code in build steps
Alternatives:
  • docker-slim – Uses distroless images and binary analysis for potentially greater size reduction, whereas docker-squash focuses on layer merging.
