Docker image size

[mksenzov]

Page https://efficientqa.github.io/submit.html claims that to check image size you will use

docker run "${MODEL}" du -h

Questions:

1. This implies that anything outside of the workdir is not measured, so if my workdir is /app and I put data in / - that is not counted. Did you intend to say docker run "${MODEL}" du -h / instead?

2. why not just use docker images output (SIZE column)?

Any clarification would be appreciated.

or should we perhaps, consider the size of the image as it is stored in Google Container Registry - it appears like GCR further compresses those and my local 6Gb image is shown 4.49 GB which indicate that I still might have a ton of space available.

Hi Mikhail, we are using du -h / to get everything, yes. Sorry that wasn't clear, the instructions have been updated.

Does it mean that even the size of the system environment package also counted?

Hi @djshowtime , I'm just a participant in the challenge, but yes, everything in the docker container including the system environment package seems to be counted.
