Current docker image size is insane. It is 2.55 GB. Reduce that to below 1GB or less. Apply changes from this reference: https://hackernoon.com/tips-to-reduce-docker-image-sizes-876095da3b34

Size reduced to 561 MB in docker hub (when uncompressed - 1.46GB).

Miniconda and FAISS installations are taking a large part in docker image size (~350 MB) - within this, a single package, Intel(R) Math Kernel Library is taking 204.1 MB.

CouchDB installation is taking 210 MB.

With below measures, we can try further reduce image size:

  • Build FAISS from source.
  • Use Alpine base image ~3MB as alternative to Ubuntu ~27MB.

Got rid of CouchDB instance from container. Now AquilaDB use Pouch Level backend as default document store. Added Docker env variable DB_HOST to set external CouchDB as AquilaDB backend.
