### What needs to get done Every rock includes pebble which means that every rock is at least as big as pebble. At the time of writing building the head of main gives me 13MB. [upx](https://github.com/upx/upx) supports automatic packing of go binaries and gives me a quite substantial drop to 56% file size: ```bash $ https://github.com/canonical/pebble && cd pebble $ go build -o pebble cmd/pebble/main.go $ du -h ./pebble 13M $ upx ./pebble &>/dev/null $ du -h ./pebble 7.2M ``` and, with the `--ultra-brute` option down to `46%` at the cost of increased packing time. ### Why it needs to get done Given pebble is shipped by default in *every* container, this, or something along these lines, might be worth considering to drop the base image size.
