Generate production-ready Dockerfiles with best practices for various tech stacks. Covers multi-stage builds, optimization, security, and language-specific patterns (Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Java). Use when creating new application containers.

Generate optimized, production-ready Dockerfiles for common application stacks with built-in best practices.
Generate optimized, production-ready Dockerfiles for common application stacks with built-in best practices.
| Use Case | Base Image | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Node.js | node:20-alpine | Slim, fast, widely compatible |
| Python | python:3.11-slim | Minimal footprint |
| Go | golang:1.21-alpine | Compiler included for builds |
| Rust | rust:latest | Large but efficient |
| Java | eclipse-temurin:21-jre-alpine | JRE only for production |
| General | debian:bookworm-slim | Full tooling when needed |
Rule of thumb: Use Alpine for production (smaller, faster), Debian/Ubuntu for development (more tools).

Solution: Use multi-stage builds, Alpine base images, and .dockerignore
# Before: 1.2GB
FROM ubuntu:22.04
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y python3 pip ...
COPY . .
# After: 120MB
FROM python:3.11-slim AS builder
RUN pip install --user ...
FROM python:3.11-slim
COPY --from=builder ...
Solution: Order commands by change frequency
# Stable → Frequently changing
COPY package.json .
RUN npm ci
COPY . .
RUN npm run build
Solution: Enable BuildKit and use layer caching
# Enable BuildKit
export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1
# Build with progress output
docker buildx build --progress=plain -t myapp .
# Build image
docker build -t myapp:test .
# Run with shell for inspection
docker run -it myapp:test /bin/sh
# Verify file contents
docker run myapp:test ls -la /app
# Check environment
docker run myapp:test env
