精简docker的导出镜像

Docker 镜像是由多个文件系统（只读层）叠加而成，每个层仅包含了前一层的差异部分。当我们启动一个容器的时候，Docker 会加载镜像层并在其上添加一个可写层。容器上所做的任何更改，譬如新建文件、更改文件、删除文件，都将记录与可写层上。当我们使docker save形式尝试导出镜像时会导出该镜像的所有文件层，当然这个行为是必要的，因为你不知道这个镜像的被导入环境是否已包含基础镜像的文件层。但是如果我们有一批镜像且都依赖某一个或两个基础镜像构建，且不具备批量 save的调价（必须一个一个分开了打包），这种情况下如果一个一个save的话对硬盘资源是极大的浪费，那么有没有办法去掉哪些重复的镜像层呢，答案是OK的。（也许有人会吐槽为啥不用docekrfile呢，是的一般情况下是ok的，但是用dockerfile build出来的镜像id时不一样的）

看下docker save 导出了写啥

以如下镜像为例子

FROM centos:7
COPY main /home/main
RUN chmod +x /home/main

CMD /home/mai

构建

docker build -t ip-server:1.0.0 .

导出

[root@localhost demo]# docker save -o ip-server.tar ip-server:1.0.0
[root@localhost demo]# du -sh ip-server.tar 
212M	ip-server.tar
[root@localhost demo]# docker save -o centos7.tar centos:7
[root@localhost demo]# du -sh centos7.tar 
202M	centos7.tar

可以看到基于centos7构建的ip-server镜像只是大了一丁，也就是我们COPY进来的一个可执行文件大小，那么在已知被导入环境存在centos7镜像的文件层是该如何减小ip-server.tar的体积呢？

拆解导出的镜像

[root@localhost demo]# mkdir ip-server && tar xf ip-server.tar -C ip-server
[root@localhost demo]# tree ip-server
ip-server

参考docker-ce的相关导出模块的源代码（源代码解读就不做了，不算复杂）

可以找出打包出的tar包中放layer文件夹与diff_ids标记的文件层的对应关系。

1. 解压压缩包
2. 读取 centos7 和 ip-server 的inspect
3. 找出 centos7 和 ip-server 的diff_ids同的层数
4. 按照相同的层数依次找到manifest.json中记录的layers文件目录，并把layer.tar的压缩包置空
5. 重新打包

测试改处理的导出包在centos:7镜像已存在的环境中可以被正常导入操作。

懒得琢磨也可以直接使用，在安装好go环境下git clone 下来 make && make install 后即可食用。
