Improve Dockerfiles and containerlab creation (especially in build and startup time)
Containerlab creation takes a very long time and our docker images are pretty huge in size.
Description
Building docker images and especially our make containerlab start
take an incredibly long time. This is since we do not cache the go dependencies during a go build
and because we usually always pull the entire project into the build container (this can be quite a few GB, since we have some submodules within our project by now).
Expected Behavior
Actual Behavior
Possible Fix
Cache go dependencies for go build Do not copy the whole project -> only necessary folders
Steps to Reproduce
- run
make containerlab-start
- wait
- cry
