How to use
- Pick a runtime preset (20 languages, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, static sites, or a blank Custom form). It only fills in defaults; every field stays editable.
- Adjust the base image, workdir, install, build, and start commands.
- List ports as
3000or8080:80, one per comma, space, or line. - Add environment variables as one
KEY=valueper line. - Optionally enable the multi-stage build, the non-root user, a HEALTHCHECK, and the
.dockerignoretab. - Copy the result, download it as
Dockerfile/.dockerignore, or grab both as a.zip.
Notes
- Multi-stage builds compile in a builder stage and copy the workdir into a clean runtime image.
- The non-root option creates the user with
useradd, which Debian, Ubuntu, and Red Hat based images provide. Alpine based images needadduserinstead, so check the generatedRUNline when you use them. - Start commands are emitted in exec (
CMD ["..."]) form; quote arguments with spaces.
