Dockerfile best practices, multi-stage builds, and Docker Compose
# Docker Containers Guide
## Dockerfile Best Practices
- Use multi-stage builds
- Minimize layer count
- Cache dependencies effectively
- Use .dockerignore
## Docker Compose
- Define services clearly
- Use environment variables
- Implement health checks
- Set resource limits
## Development Workflow
- Use volumes for hot reload
- Implement dev/prod builds
- Use docker-compose.override.yml
- Network containers properly
## Optimization
- Use small base images (Alpine)
- Order layers by change frequency
- Clean up after installations
- Use BuildKit featuresThis Docker prompt is ideal for developers working on:
By using this prompt, you can save hours of manual coding and ensure best practices are followed from the start. It's particularly valuable for teams looking to maintain consistency across their docker implementations.
Yes! All prompts on Antigravity AI Directory are free to use for both personal and commercial projects. No attribution required, though it's always appreciated.
This prompt works excellently with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and other modern AI coding assistants. For best results, use models with large context windows.
You can modify the prompt by adding specific requirements, constraints, or preferences. For Docker projects, consider mentioning your framework version, coding style, and any specific libraries you're using.
