I bet we can further shrink geodesic using slim
https://github.com/slimtoolkit/slim https://github.com/cloudposse/geodesic/issues/947
Also awesome that the image has shrunk so much already in v3!!!
We can shrink it down that way, but it will break things, and is thus not worth it.
Ah it may remove packages that are actually needed?
I wonder if there is a way to have an allowlist of packages to ignore for slim so it can focus on other things.
Thanks for considering

That’s a huge release @Jeremy G (Cloud Posse) – Nice work and kudos to you
This is an awesome step forward for Geodesic as I have team members complain about how big it is on occasion. We’ll try kicking the tires at Masterpoint
Thanks, Matt. Please LMK if you think there are large savings to be had by removing certain tools that are not worth the space. AFAIK Python is the only big thing left, and I think we want to keep that, as it is not easy to install on your own. However, it’s certainly possible I missed something, as I did previously with groff
(which pulls in a lot of X11 libraries in order to do raster graphics, which we do not need in Geodesic).
