Dockerfile Templates

Production-ready Dockerfiles. Copy, build, run.

Quick start

cp frameworks/nextjs.Dockerfile Dockerfile
docker build -t my-app .
docker run -p 3000:3000 my-app

Categories

Category	Count	Philosophy	For
Frameworks	29	Self-contained, hardened	Full-stack apps, APIs, SPAs
Languages	19	Modular runtime base	Custom services, microservices
Patterns	16	Reusable cross-cutting layers	Layer onto language templates
Tools	23	Infrastructure container	Data layer, networking

Features

• Pinned base images — no :latest drift, reproducible builds
• Non-root execution — framework templates ship with unprivileged users
• Multi-stage builds — build toolchains never land in the final image
• Health checks — ready for orchestrators (K8s, Swarm, ECS)
• Modular composition — cat templates together for custom stacks

Template catalog

Frameworks (frameworks/)

Production-hardened: multi-stage builds, health checks, security baked in.

angular.Dockerfile	django.Dockerfile	fiber.Dockerfile	koa.Dockerfile	remix.Dockerfile
astro.Dockerfile	dotnet.Dockerfile	flask.Dockerfile	laravel.Dockerfile	ruby-on-rails.Dockerfile
adonisjs.Dockerfile	ember.Dockerfile	gatsby.Dockerfile	nest.Dockerfile	solid.Dockerfile
express.Dockerfile	fastapi.Dockerfile	gin.Dockerfile	nextjs.Dockerfile	spring-boot.Dockerfile
fastify.Dockerfile	nuxt.Dockerfile	phoenix.Dockerfile	svelte.Dockerfile	sveltekit.Dockerfile
play-framework.Dockerfile	qwik.Dockerfile	react.Dockerfile	vue.Dockerfile

Languages (languages/)

Runtime-only, designed for composition with pattern templates. All are minimal and modular — layer on patterns/security-hardened.Dockerfile for non-root users and hardening. See AGENTS.md for details.

		java.Dockerfile	python.Dockerfile	typescript.Dockerfile
			r.Dockerfile	ruby.Dockerfile

Patterns (patterns/)

Reusable layers. Combine with language templates via cat.

Pattern	Purpose
alpine.Dockerfile	Alpine Linux base for minimal images
blue-green.Dockerfile	Blue-green deployment setup
ci-cd.Dockerfile	Pipeline automation hooks
development.Dockerfile	Dev tooling (debug ports, live reload hooks)
distroless.Dockerfile	Distroless minimal attack surface
docker-compose.Dockerfile	Compose service scaffolding
edge-computing.Dockerfile	Edge-optimized configs
gpu-accelerated.Dockerfile	CUDA / GPU pass-through
hot-reload.Dockerfile	File-watch + container-reload dev loop
microservices.Dockerfile	Inter-service communication patterns
monitoring.Dockerfile	Metrics, logs, tracing sidecars
multi-stage.Dockerfile	Multi-stage build boilerplate
security-hardened.Dockerfile	Non-root, read-only fs, capability drops
serverless.Dockerfile	Cloud Function / Lambda packaging
wasm.Dockerfile	WebAssembly runtime targets
zero-downtime.Dockerfile	Graceful shutdown + readiness probes

Tools (tools/)

Infrastructure containers with auth configs, data dirs, and health checks.

certbot.Dockerfile	haproxy.Dockerfile	memcached.Dockerfile	nginx.Dockerfile	sqlite.Dockerfile

Usage

Build arguments

docker build --build-arg NODE_ENV=production -t my-app .

Runtime config

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
  -e NODE_ENV=production \
  --name my-app my-app

Build variants

docker build --build-arg NODE_ENV=development -t my-app:dev .
docker build --build-arg NODE_ENV=production  -t my-app:prod .
docker build --build-arg NODE_ENV=test        -t my-app:test .

Composing templates

Stack templates with cat. Language + pattern is the canonical composition. See TEMPLATE_STANDARDS.md for examples and design intent.

---

Security

Framework and tool templates ship hardened. For language templates, layer on patterns/security-hardened.Dockerfile. See TEMPLATE_STANDARDS.md for full security requirements.

---

Performance

• Order layers by change frequency — dependencies first, source last
• Multi-stage builds — separate build from runtime
• .dockerignore — exclude node_modules, .git, docs

---

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full process and TEMPLATE_STANDARDS.md for template rules.
