Why does the container have google-cloud-sdk in it?

Open intendo opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

I can't see why the google-cloud-sdk is in the container. It is over half the size of the image. The google-cloud-sdk is over 880 Megabytes.

Thank you for your report, Darren! Would you mind illustrating that? Thanks!

Add the following to the main Dockerfile to remove 880 Megabytes of disk space: RUN rm -rf /usr/share/google-cloud-sdk /usr/lib/google-cloud-sdk

Thank you, Darren.

We will investigate why do we have this in our image.

I can't see why the google-cloud-sdk is in the container.

gsutil is needed in when downloading BLAST databases from GCP whenever Requester Pays is enabled on a bucket. In BLAST+ 2.16.0 we have made efforts to reduce the size of the ncbi/blast docker image; this led to about a 50% reduction in size: https://hub.docker.com/r/ncbi/blast/tags

The google-cloud-sdk is over 880 Megabytes.

This is a known issue: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gsutil/issues/1732
