How to create a docker image with minimal JDK 11? There is no jre11_headless

Help
1

I’m looking for a way to build Java 11 with minimal dependencies. More specifically, I’m building a docker image to run jenkins on.
jre8_headless package is the smallest, and binary cache from official server is available. I’m just curious if there is a way to build smaller image with JDK 11.
I’ve tried adoptopenjdk-jre-bin, but looks much bigger than jre8_headless.

Is there any way to make the image built with nix smaller? It probably has java compiler stripped already. Can I also remove GUI related staff as well?

You can use the module system to build a jre_minimal with just the modules you need as documented here. I’m not sure that will end up being smaller than jre8_headless, though, that would be something to check…

jre_minimal is built from OpenJDK 15, not 11, and is much bigger than jre8_headless.
Docker image size of each package (without including other dependencies and last layer) is

jre8_headless: 144.7MB
jre_minimal: 884.2MB

jre_minimal’s default modules is already minimal (it only contains java.base), so I guess other things are taking up disk space.

There is headless version of jdk11 (jdk11_headless) and is slightly smaller: 589.5MB.
adoptopenjdk-jre-bin is much smaller, but still 3x as big as jre8_headless: 459.3MB

Looks like adoptopenjdk-jre-bin only contains JRE, but contains GUI related staffs (non-headless), which is pointless for server side use.

Is there a way to strip unnecessary files from jre_minimal and gnome related staffs to make JDK package much smaller?

I’m probably doing something wrong because the docker image apparently contains development packages…

let
  sources = import ./sources.nix;
  pkgs = import sources.nixpkgs { };
in
pkgs.dockerTools.streamLayeredImage {
  name = "my-app/inbound-agent";
  contents = with pkgs; [
    jre_minimal
  ];
}

The document you linked does not provide full example. Do I need to compile Java program from source (in my case jenkins agent), to be able to strip unnecessary dependencies? I tried to use pre-compiled jar file.

https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker-agent/blob/ce81be3f519f8650efff451db51634458739c494/11/alpine/Dockerfile#L38

Not sure how jdk version and headless option can be overriden.

I think I’ve figured it out… I just needed to create a new derivation using that JRE. Using jre directly will cause nix to include its dev dependencies.

let
  sources = import ./sources.nix;
  pkgs = import sources.nixpkgs { };
  jre = pkgs.jre_minimal.override {
    modules = ["java.base"];
    jdk = pkgs.jdk11_headless;
  };
  jenkinsAgent = pkgs.callPackage ./jenkins-agent.nix {
    inherit jre;
  };
in
pkgs.dockerTools.streamLayeredImage {
  name = "my-app/inbound-agent";
  contents = with pkgs; [
    # other dependencies...
  ] ++ [
    jenkinsAgent
  ];
  # other configs...
}

{ stdenv }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
  # other configs...
  installPhase = ''
    # other scripts...
    wrapProgram "$out/bin/jenkins-agent" \
      --set JAVA_HOME "${jre.home}"
  '';
}

The size of first layer of the image is now 314.7MB. Still bigger than JRE8, but lot better than adoptopenjdk-jre-bin. Thank you!

I’ve found later that lib/server/libjvm.so is very big (232.6 MB).
After running strip -p --strip-unneeded ./lib/server/libjvm.so the size went down to 17.5 MB.
Maybe a bug, I’ll report this as a GitHub issue.

That’s a great observation! Do you think we should add this step (perhaps optional but enabled by default) in the jre_minimal derivation or further ‘upstream’?

I think that’s a good idea. Could you implement the feature in the derivation? I’m still a nix newbie and don’t know how to implement the feature properly.

Anyway I created the issue.
