Are you doing a COPY to get it all in? Another thing you can try is to use a builder image, where you mount your source in as a volume (ie don't copy), and that build image makes a new Dockerfile+binary that you can build into a much smaller image for deploying.

I wrote a bit about this process here: http://gowithconfidence.tumblr.com/post/112715890281/vendori...

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks. :)

I'm not sure I properly understand you, but we look at using sshfs for mounting local folders directly into the container.

It's a neat hack that bypasses a lot of setup with NFS or other shared folder tools, assuming you have an ssh setup in place. Needless to say, we used it at work.
