This image is based on Alpine Linux image, which is only a 5MB image, and contains OracleJRE 8.

You must accept the Oracle Binary Code License Agreement for Java SE to use this image (see frolvlad/docker-alpine-oraclejdk8/issue-6 for details).

JRE bundle contains lots of unnecessary for Docker image stuff, so it was cleaned up. There are 3 tags: full (only src tarballs get removed), cleaned (desktop parts get cleaned), slim (everything but jvm is removed). master branch refers to slim tag, but latest tag points to cleaned.

slim (master branch) download image size is:

cleaned (latest tag) download image size is:

In case you need to compile Java code with Oracle JDK, consider using frolvlad/alpine-oraclejdk8 image.
