Discussion on: Use Multi-Stage Docker Builds For Statically-Linked Rust Binaries

[Ben Lovy]

I haven't tried yet, but my instinct tells me this is something Docker manages, not your containers. Like Moshe said, the Linux userland inside a container is explicitly for runtime needs of the container's internal commands, everything outside of that is handled by Docker itself.

Thanks. scratch feels like taking the training wheels off, but you have to do it at some point!

Afaik, scratch isn't "nothing", it just downloads nothing.
There's still stuff from the runtime when it's alive.
