⁠IMPORTANT

There are people who still use this docker image. I recommend using image of alpine tag of AdoptOpenJDK. It is not musl base, but it is lightweight.

see https://jdk.java.net/11/⁠

Thank you for reading.

⁠Result

The size of 1 GB has been reduced to about 85 MB. Image size is the result output by the docker images command.

⁠Background problem

The docker image of openjdk 11 is published in the official respoitory of docker hub. https://hub.docker.com/_/openjdk/⁠

This image has the following problem.

• openjdk:11-jdk tag image size is large. There is about 1 GB.
• Even if you use jlink, image size is 400 MB.
• Java Flight Recorder does not work in jre tag images.

The file size was confirmed with the following command.

$ sudo docker images |grep jdk
docker.io/openjdk                            11-jdk   f684efd78557  2 weeks ago         979 MB
$

I confirmed that libjvm.so becomes larger when using jlink.

$ docker run -it --rm openjdk:11-jdk /bin/sh
# ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/lib/server/
total 34944

The generated libjvm.so increased to 424 MB. This problem is probably part of the following issue issue. https://github.com/docker-library/openjdk/issues/217⁠
