@leiless Thanks for introducing that. really nice.

Hi guys, simple question: what's the meaning of && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* given by the docker doc, and should I do it in my Dockerfile?

@ZYinMD ubuntu:22.04 image had it empty and it increased even if I did apt-get clean. removing it would not harm anything.
