Docker Operations

Comprehensive Docker patterns for building, running, and composing containerized applications.

Dockerfile Best Practices

Practice Do Don't
Base image FROM node:20-slim FROM node:latest
Layer caching Copy dependency files first, then source COPY . . before RUN install
Package install apt-get update && apt-get install -y ... && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* Separate RUN for update and install
User USER nonroot (create if needed) Run as root in production
Multi-stage Separate build and runtime stages Ship compiler toolchains
Secrets --mount=type=secret (BuildKit) COPY .env . or ARG PASSWORD
ENTRYPOINT vs CMD ENTRYPOINT for fixed binary, CMD for defaults Relying on shell form for signal handling
WORKDIR WORKDIR /app RUN cd /app && ...
.dockerignore Include .git, node_modules, __pycache__ No .dockerignore at all
Labels LABEL org.opencontainers.image.* No metadata
