This particular database goes from 1.4GB to 200M. Slower, part of that might be having no `--inspect-file`? ``` $ datasette publish fly ... --generate-dir /tmp/deploy-this ... $ mksquashfs large.db large.squashfs $ rm large.db # don't accidentally put it in the image $ cat Dockerfile FROM python:3.8 COPY . /app WORKDIR /app ENV DATASETTE_SECRET 'xyzzy' RUN pip install -U datasette # RUN datasette inspect large.db --inspect-file inspect-data.json ENV PORT 8080 EXPOSE 8080 CMD mount -o loop -t squashfs large.squashfs /mnt; datasette serve --host 0.0.0.0 -i /mnt/large.db --cors --port $PORT ``` It would also be possible to copy the file onto the ~6GB available on the ephemeral container filesystem on startup. A little against the spirit of the thing? On this example the whole docker image is 2.42 GB and the squashfs version is 1.14 GB.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",335200136,Explore if SquashFS can be used to shrink size of packaged Docker containers, https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/327#issuecomment-1043626870,https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/327,1043626870,IC_kwDOBm6k_c4-NHt2,208018,dholth,2022-02-17T23:37:24Z,2022-02-17T23:37:24Z,NONE,On second thought any kind of quick-to-decompress-on-startup could be helpful if we're paying for the container registry and deployment bandwidth but not ephemeral storage.,"{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",335200136,Explore if SquashFS can be used to shrink size of packaged Docker containers,
