Properties

installRecommends: boolean

property

Install Recommends: as well. Off by default: recommends pull in a surprising amount (a compiler's recommends can include an MTA), and a build image should contain what it was asked for.

noCleanup: boolean

property

Keep /var/lib/apt/lists instead of deleting it. The lists are ~40 MB of package index that nothing at runtime reads, and they are baked into the layer — keep them only when a later .run() in this image installs more packages and passes noUpdate.

noUpdate: boolean

property

Skip apt-get update. Only correct when an earlier layer in the same image already refreshed the lists and nothing has invalidated them.
