Details

This is the minimal (“slim”) variant of the official Docker image for Debian 11 (codenamed “Bullseye”), which now serves as the “oldstable” release. It’s a “minbase” install of Debian where non-essential files—such as man pages, documentation, and extra utilities—have been removed to create the smallest possible image size . This results in a significantly reduced attack surface and faster container deployments, making it a highly reliable and secure base OS for containerized applications that depend on the stability of the Bullseye package set.
