leodotcloud/swiss-army-knife repository overview

⁠swiss-army-knife

Packing any application with a tiny/bare minimal base image sounds like an awesome/cool/intelligent idea, until things break and there are not tools inside the container to debug the problem at hand. This repo/docker image tries to solve this problem by having a different image with all possible tools needed to debug majority of the problems in a production environment. This image also includes a very small web application for testing/debugging purposes.

Dockerfile: https://github.com/leodotcloud/swiss-army-knife/blob/master/package/Dockerfile⁠
