17.7M on Alpine Images about gomplate HOT 3 CLOSED

@estahn That's interesting - the result of the build that I make for Linux is 13.5MBs (https://github.com/hairyhenderson/gomplate/releases/download/v1.9.1/gomplate_linux-amd64). I'll have a closer look at the build for Alpine (https://github.com/alpinelinux/aports/blob/master/community/gomplate/APKBUILD)

One thing to note - I produce a smaller "slim" build for some platforms. The Linux/amd64 binary is 3.7MBs. I use UPX to produce the slim ones, and unfortunately UPX isn't available in the Alpine repos yet, so it won't be able to be used during the Alpine build.

I'll try to see if I can get the build closer to the 13MB mark, but beyond that for now we're out of luck. The main reason it's so big is the aws-sdk-go package. I logged #47 a while back to track the possibility of making that smaller...

@hairyhenderson Actually, I'm using the slim version now in my alpine image.

curl -SsL -o /usr/local/bin/gomplate https://github.com/hairyhenderson/gomplate/releases/download/v1.9.1/gomplate_linux-amd64-slim

Works fine.

It might be an idea to provide a version without aws-sdk-go, e.g. we're not using this feature atm. Anyways, the slim version works for me.

Yep - that crossed my mind, though it's easier said than done 😉
