# Mini Redis Image

WIP to create a docker image for redis < 1MB in size, uncompressed.

So far the image is 1.01MB...

```

$ docker images|grep redis

redis    latest     ba6b64638b73     48 years ago     1.01MB

```

Dont mind the age...

Requirements:

  * Non-root user called `redis`

  * Fully working redis

Right now redis is statically linked against glibc. Linking against

musl should bring the size of the exe down to less than 1MB, it

doesn't seem straightforward to do this with nix though, see

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/25178.

## Building

You'll need [nix](https://nixos.org/nix/) installed. Once installed run:

```

$ nix-build

```

If everything was successful:

```

$ docker load < result

```

The image should be loaded with the name `redis`.
