About:
SlimToolkit (formerly DockerSlim) is a powerful open-source tool for minifying and securing Docker images. It analyzes container images to remove unnecessary files and dependencies, significantly reducing image size and attack surface. The tool also provides features for debugging, building, and optimizing containers without requiring Dockerfile modifications.
Key Features:
  • Automated image minification and optimization
  • Security hardening by removing unused binaries and files
  • Zero-change workflow (works without Dockerfile modifications)
  • Debugging and inspection capabilities for containers
  • Multi-architecture support
Use Cases:
  • Reducing production Docker image sizes for faster deployments
  • Hardening container images to minimize security vulnerabilities
  • Optimizing CI/CD pipeline efficiency with smaller images
  • Debugging and analyzing running containers in production
Alternatives:
  • docker-slim – Original tool name, now rebranded as SlimToolkit
  • dive – Focuses on image layer analysis rather than optimization
  • docker-squash – Only squashes layers without removing unnecessary files
