Hi,
I was trying to package a project in docker and to start I did a fairly
straightforward command:
$ guix pack --format=docker elixir
It generated an image quite a bit larger than I expected.
-r--r--r-- 2 root root 461M Dec 31 1969 gfnqg760z22vr8kbvyzdzhs1hc5766c9-elixir-docker-pack.tar.gz
After uncompressing, this is taking 1.5GB and is including quite a few
unnecessary packages for a minimal image - see below for the top 30.

I wouldn't expect to need llvm, mesa, webkit, samba, python, perl, gtk, cups, pulseaudio, etc, etc. in a production image.
What would be the recommended way to minimize the derivation?
Thanks,

Hi !
You can use guix graph to see what depends on what, and find out why a
specific dependency is needed:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-graph.html
I just invoked:
guix graph elixir > /tmp/toto.dot
and by manually inspecting the dot file I can see that e.g. webkit is needed
by wxWidgets, whether you need those or not is up to you.
You can generate the visual graph with
dot -T pdf < /tmp/toto.dot > /tmp/toto.pdf
I'm looking at it right now, and I see that elixir depends on erlang and
git, and that git is pulling perl with it.
I doubt that's needed, so maybe you can create a new package
"lean-elixir", and forego the dependency on git somehow ? If you cut a
branch early in the DAG you may get huge returns on investment,
size-wise.
This may not be the best approach, maybe some wizards here will have
better ideas.
Cheers,
Edouard.

I think it is expected. Docker images use only the kernel from the host
OS when the host kernel is Linux (the host kernel, not the host OS).
Wikipedia says:
> Docker is a set of platform as a service (PaaS) products that use
> OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called
> containers.[6] Containers are isolated from one another and bundle
> their own software, libraries and configuration files; they can
> communicate with each other through well-defined channels.[7]

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to try to compile a minimal erlang.

I agree the size is an issue.

You can use the option ’--path’ to find out why elixir depends on
unexpected packages, for instance:
$ guix graph --path elixir samba
elixir@1.12.0
erlang@24.0.2
wxwidgets@3.0.5.1
webkitgtk@2.32.3
libsoup@2.72.0
samba@4.13.1
> What would be the recommended way to minimize the derivation?
Examine each and try to spot what could be cut. For instance, ’erlang’
depends on ’wxwidgets’ which brings a lot of stuff.
Hope that helps,
simon
