Why use openssl in docker image?

[0xmichalis]

Is it possible to replace the use of openssl with rustls? If so, you should be able to change the runtime image to use distroless which would reduce the image size from 137MB to 16.5MB and increase the security of the image since you cannot shell into it or make it execute anything other than app logic.

- FROM ubuntu:20.04 AS runtime
+ FROM gcr.io/distroless/static-debian11
