Docker increase size of image when build the same folder?

Hello, I have a very strange problem with a “dummy docker test” and driving me crazy…

This is the situation: I have a folder: testdocker with following content (only a .deb file and a Dockerfile):

➜ testdocker ls
Brackets.1.4.Extract.64-bit.deb 
Dockerfile
  • In the Dockerfile I have the following:
FROM busybox
ADD .  /home/
  • I run in a bash console:
docker build -t buxy:base .
  • Then I change the Dockerfile to:
FROM buxy:base
ADD. /home/
  • and run again in a bash console:
docker build -t docker buxy:1 .

Notice that I only change de Dockerfile (.deb file is exactly the same from the start), so I hope that image buxy:1 and buxy:base have the same size, however buxy:1 double the size of buxy:base. It’s like(.deb file added again as if he had changed, but It never changed…

  • Docker images command show:
buxy:1              948f4711864d            10 minutes ago        72.76 MB
buxy:base        09f74a0ef2ed             11 minutes ago        36.94 MB
busybox:latest  2c5ac3f849df              2 days ago              1.113 MB

Look at the first line (it adds 35.83 MB) (I don’t change nothing in the directory, only the Dockerfile line)

➜  testdocker  docker history 948f4711864d

Also I do a full clean of docker and reinstall all without success…

I am using Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS with kernel 3.13.0-65-generic #106-Ubuntu and Docker version 1.8.3, build f4bf5c7

Thank you!
