WIP: Add "slim" version

Open octomike opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

This is my test to "slim" down the rather huge docker images. My primary focus is to create a container that works well on headless HPC systems (singularity support and no need for GUI).

  • only install libxt6 instead of xorg
  • wipe some matlab archives before installation
  • remove some GUI-related and GPGPU related libraries
  • remove map tiles

There are probably much more things that could be wiped from the MCR or tuned but right now I end up with a roughly 900MB flat singularity image and that's already an improvement.

This escalated a little and I also wiped:

  • non-english localization
  • libcef (chrome embedded)
  • opengl*
  • jxbrowser
  • web-resources for various Matlab toolboxes

Singularity image is down to 720MB, Docker virtual size is 1.89GB as compared to 4.81GB.

With MATLAB Runtime R2021a, one can select which toolboxes to install:

cat <<EOF >installer_input.txt 
mode silent
destinationFolder /v910
agreeToLicense yes
product.MATLAB_Runtime___Core true
product.MATLAB_Runtime___Numerics true
EOF
./install -inputFile installer_input.txt

It seems that a number of files and directories listed here for removal can still be removed after this installation.
