When you don't use apt-get's --no-install-recommends flag, you install all the recommended packages for the package and the package itself. By implementing this parameter, I was able to decrease my image size by ~20% on my various arch. builds. Signed-off-by: John Menerick <coding@haxx.ninja>

This is awesome! I admit the Docker container was a bit of an afterthought but I’m happy to take any improvements. I’m out of town until Sunday but I’ll fully review this (and your other issues/PRs, thanks again!) once I get back and get them merged in |

Anytime. Glad I could help. Keep up the great work! |
