Kloud • Base Image

📦 Minimal Debian layer that underpins every KloudKIT container

---

# TL;DR  🐳 grab the latest layer (Debian 13 / Trixie)
docker pull ghcr.io/kloudkit/base-image:latest

Use it as the first FROM in any KloudKIT-compatible Dockerfile:

FROM ghcr.io/kloudkit/base-image:latest
# …install your app here…

What's Inside

This ultra-minimal base layer provides:

• Size-optimized Debian with aggressive cleanup configurations.
• Essential tools like curl, wget, gnupg, and unzip pre-installed.
• Smart package management that blocks unnecessary services by default.
• Multi-architecture support with ARM64 and AMD64 builds for broad compatibility.
• Security hardening with sensible defaults for container environments.
• User setup with a non-root kloud user ready for your applications.

Why Use This Base

• Smaller images: Extensive file exclusions and package filtering reduce bloat.
• Faster builds: Common tools pre-installed, optimized APT configuration.
• Consistent foundation: All KloudKIT projects start from the same reliable base.
• Production ready: Battle-tested configurations used across KloudKIT infrastructure.
