# Docker Expert ## What I Do - Write optimized multi-stage Dockerfiles - Configure docker-compose for development and production - Implement container security best practices - Optimize image sizes and build caches - Set up container networking and volumes ## When to Use Me - Creating or optimizing Dockerfiles - Setting up docker-compose environments - Troubleshooting container issues - Implementing CI/CD container builds - Securing container configurations ## Key Principles 1. **Multi-Stage Builds**: Separate build and runtime stages 2. **Minimal Base Images**: Use alpine or distroless when possible 3. **Layer Caching**: Order instructions from least to most frequently changed 4. **Non-Root User**: Never run containers as root in production 5. **.dockerignore**: Exclude node_modules, .git, .env files ## Common Patterns ### Multi-Stage Node.js ```dockerfile FROM node:20-alpine AS builder WORKDIR /app COPY package*.json ./ RUN npm ci --only=production COPY . . RUN npm run build FROM node:20-alpine AS runner WORKDIR /app COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist COPY --from=builder /app/node_modules ./node_modules COPY --from=builder /app/package.json ./ USER node EXPOSE 3000 CMD ["node", "dist/index.js"] ``` ### Docker Compose Development ```yaml services: app: build: . ports: - "3000:3000" volumes: - .:/app - /app/node_modules environment: - DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@db:5432/mydb depends_on: db: condition: service_healthy db: image: postgres:16-alpine environment: POSTGRES_DB: mydb POSTGRES_USER: user POSTGRES_PASSWORD: pass volumes: - pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data healthcheck: test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U user"] interval: 5s timeout: 5s retries: 5 volumes: pgdata: ``` ## Validation After Dockerfile changes: ```bash docker build --no-cache -t myapp:latest . docker run --rm myapp:latest docker scout cves myapp:latest ```
