Hey @AayushSaini101 , i would like to take this up with the following approach :-

1. Reduce the size by removing unnecessary files and using .dockerignore to ignore unnecessary files being included in the final build.

2. Update the docs as required to include all the builds published by us including for arm architecture.

3. Update the action to be published for arm architecture also.

4. The usage with Alpine image requires debugging and most probable solution might be to include some more libraries for cli to be used properly with it.

Please review the above approaches.

Unassigned @neoandmatrix.

@Gmin2, what would your proposed solution be?

[Gmin2]

1. For the docker image optimisation one, although i need to look it at more depth what i gather from initial lookup is that we can implement a strict .dockerignore file to exclude folders like .git, test/, and node_modules from the Docker build context and then refactoring the Dockerfile to be a minimal, multi-stage build that copies only the compiled lib directory, bin, assets, and production package.json into the final, lean node:20-alpine image. and also we can ensure that the npm install --production command is used in the final stage to avoid installing dev dependencies.

2. For the alpine linux incompabality issue, this also what i gather from initial lookup we can modify the .github/workflows/upload-release-assets.yml CI workflow to produce an alpine-compatible binary by adding a new job to the matrix that runs within an alpine docker container, which will compile the oclif-packed binary against musl instead of glibc, this new job will then upload a dedicated asyncapi-alpine-x64.tar.gz artifact to the gh release, which users on alpine can download and use directly.

3. For arm 64 docker image, we can implement this by updating the publish-action-docker job in the .github/workflows/release-docker.yml workflow to build for multiple architectures, add the docker/setup-qemu-action and docker/setup-buildx-action steps to prepare the runner for cross-platform builds, replace the current docker build and push commands with a single docker/build-push-action step, configured with platforms: linux/amd64,linux/arm64 to build and push both image variant
