Containers are bloated and are thus a pain to self-host, we have developed an open-source tool that can cut up to 90% of the container size while removing tons of CVEs (old.reddit.com)

Hi everyone,

I have already posted about this in r/cybersecurity and in r/docker but realised while searching Reddit that the size of containers is something that has been discussed here many times as it can be a pain for self-hosting!

We are a bunch of academics who have worked on debloating tools for containers and we just released our code with an MIT license to Github:

A full description of the work is here:

I attach a table with the results for debloating the top 20 containers pulled from dockerhub. We would love if you give the tool a try and tell us what you think!
