 This variant is highly recommended when final image size being as small as possible is desired. The main caveat to note is that it does use [musl libc](https://musl.libc.org/) instead of [glibc and friends](https://www.etalabs.net/compare_libcs.html), so certain software might run into issues depending on the depth of their libc requirements. However, most software doesn't have an issue with this, so this variant is usually a very safe choice. See [this Hacker News comment thread](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10782897) for more discussion of the issues that might arise and some pro/con comparisons of using Alpine-based images.

-This image is based on the popular [Distroless project](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless). We use the latest Debian based distroless image as base.

-Distroless variant contains only a statically linked sftpgo binary and its minimal runtime dependencies and so it doesn't allow shell access (no shell is installed).
-SQLite support is disabled since it requires CGO and so a C runtime which is not installed.
-The default data provider is `bolt`, all the supported data providers except `sqlite` work.
-We only provide the slim variant and so the optional `git` dependency is not available.

 ### `sftpgo:<suite>-slim`
 
 These tags provide a slimmer image that does not include `jq` and the optional `git` and `rsync` dependencies.
