Debian 12 Slim

This is the minimal (“slim”) variant of the official Docker image for Debian 12 (codenamed “Bookworm”), the current stable operating system. Like other slim images, it’s stripped of all non-essential packages (like documentation and locales) to create the smallest possible base for secure, fast-deploying applications. It includes the more modern toolchain from the “Bookworm” release, which is built on Linux Kernel 6.1 and includes newer packages like Python 3.11 and PostgreSQL 15, providing a modern yet highly stable OS layer for new cloud-native services.
