About This Skill

# dockerfile-builder

Generate production-ready, optimized Dockerfiles for multiple languages and frameworks. Supports Node.js, Python, Go, Java, and Rust with multi-stage builds, security hardening, non-root users, layer caching optimization, and .dockerignore generation. Follows Docker best practices including minimal base images, proper signal handling, health checks, and secret management.

Commands

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `generate` | Generate a complete Dockerfile for a given language/framework | | `multistage` | Create a multi-stage build Dockerfile | | `dockerignore` | Generate a .dockerignore file for a project type | | `optimize` | Analyze and optimize an existing Dockerfile | | `compose` | Generate a docker-compose.yml for multi-service setups | | `security` | Generate a security-hardened Dockerfile | | `healthcheck` | Add health check configuration to a Dockerfile |

Usage

``` # Generate a basic Dockerfile for a Node.js project dockerfile-builder generate --lang node --version 20

# Generate multi-stage build for Go dockerfile-builder multistage --lang go --binary myapp

# Generate .dockerignore dockerfile-builder dockerignore --lang python

# Security-hardened Python Dockerfile dockerfile-builder security --lang python --version 3.12

# Generate docker-compose for Node + PostgreSQL + Redis dockerfile-builder compose --services "node,postgres,redis"

# Optimize existing Dockerfile dockerfile-builder optimize --file ./Dockerfile

# Add healthcheck dockerfile-builder healthcheck --lang node --port 3000 ```

Examples

Node.js Production Dockerfile ``` dockerfile-builder generate --lang node --version 20 --framework express --port 3000 ```

Go Multi-stage Build ``` dockerfile-builder multistage --lang go --binary server --port 8080 ```

Java Spring Boot ``` dockerfile-builder generate --lang java --version 21 --framework springboot --port 8080 ```

Rust Production Build ``` dockerfile-builder multistage --lang rust --binary myapp --port 3000 ```

Features

  • Multi-stage builds — Minimize final image size by separating build and runtime stages
  • Security hardening — Non-root users, read-only filesystem, no new privileges
  • Layer caching — Optimized layer ordering for fast rebuilds
  • Health checks — Built-in health check configuration
  • .dockerignore — Language-aware ignore patterns
  • docker-compose — Multi-service orchestration configs
  • Best practices — Follows Docker official guidelines

Use Cases

  • Generate optimized Dockerfiles from application requirements and language specifications
  • Create multi-stage build Dockerfiles that minimize final image size
  • Build Dockerfiles with proper layer caching for faster rebuild times
  • Generate Dockerfiles following security best practices: non-root user, minimal base images
  • Produce Dockerfiles for polyglot applications with multiple language runtimes

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • +Generates optimized Dockerfiles with multi-stage builds and proper layer ordering
  • +Security best practices are built in — non-root users and minimal base images
  • +Supports multiple language ecosystems: Node.js, Python, Go, Java, and more

Cons

  • -Generated Dockerfiles may need tuning for specific application dependencies
  • -Only available on claude-code and openclaw platforms
  • -Cannot test the generated Dockerfile — validation requires building the image
