What is Nyancat

Nyancat is pretty cool. It's a pop-tart cat flying through space. 🐱‍🚀

wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyan_Cat

The goal of this project was to make a lightweight image for Nyancat. There are two versions shipped:

• latest / scratch
  • 332KB Compressed
    • built from scratch which is a special empty image
  • Uses a binary compiled from the Nyancat CLI source code: source
  • The binary runs on the Docker scratch image for absolute minimal size
    • The binary was compiled with make SHARED=0 CC='gcc -static -s' to get a static binary if you want to build this image yourself with the Nyancat CLI source for additional peace of mind! 😊
• alpine
  • 2MB Compressed + the base alpine image 2MB
    • Built from alpine which is also 2MB Compressed for a total install of 4MB
    • If you have alpine cached (which you hopefully do, it's pretty great) you will only be downloading the 2MB
  • Alpine is a very small version of linux and builds the source code from a zip provided here:

Thanks go to Klange and contributors on GitHub for the Nyancat CLI source.
