Because smaller

Did you consider gentoo?

Combined with packer, you might be on a better position when it comes to rkt and appc.

[lukebond]

@pierreozoux I haven't considered it, thanks for the tip. Looks interesting!

[rimusz]

@pierreozoux Can you expand more why do we need packer there?
To build rkt images we need to extract gentoo rootfs and add necessary packages:
in our case nodejs and haproxy ones.

[pierreozoux]

IMHO, packer is a nice toolchain to provision machines. Either for yesterday, barmetal, VMs or for today, docker, or tomorrow, rkt and then...

Here is a nice take on that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7067648

But yeah, if you are just compiling HAproxy and node, I think it is fine to do it handmade :)
I'm also wondering for myself, and as I like your project, I was just wondering if you were wondering also :)

Never mind, I'm just adding noise to the discussion :)

[lukebond]

@pierreozoux not noise at all! i'm not familiar with this toolchain so I appreciate you raising the discussion :)

[rimusz]

@pierreozoux it is good to know about new toolchains.
But as Paz.sh runs on CoreOS we need small docker/rkt images for its services.
@lukebond I did some rkt testing with gentoo via docker image, it is still much bigger than Alpine Linux based. I think we should stick to Alpine Linux for now.
