La --no-cache
opción permite no almacenar en caché el índice localmente, lo que es útil para mantener los contenedores pequeños.
Literalmente es igual apk update
al principio y rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*
al final.
Algún ejemplo donde usamos la --no-cache
opción:
$ docker run -ti alpine:3.7
/ # apk add nginx

removed '/var/cache/apk/APKINDEX.70c88391.tar.gz'
Como puede ver, ambos casos son válidos. En cuanto a mí, usar la --no-cache
opción es más elegante.
--no-cache
está ahí para que no tengas que hacerlorm /var/cache/apk/*
más tarde
