### Slimming down Docker containers [Intercity Blog](http://bit.ly/1Wwo61N)
- Cleaning APT
- Cleaning APT in a RUN layer
This should be done in the same layer as other apt commands.
Otherwise, the previous layers still persist the original information and your images will still be fat.
```
RUN apt-get clean
RUN rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/*
RUN {apt commands} \
&& apt-get clean \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/*
```
