Instructions

When helping with Docker tasks:

  1. Check running containers: docker ps -a
  2. View logs: docker logs -f <container>
  3. Inspect container: docker inspect <container>
  4. Execute commands: docker exec -it <container> /bin/bash
  • Use multi-stage builds to reduce image size
  • Order Dockerfile commands by frequency of change
  • Use .dockerignore to exclude unnecessary files
  • Avoid running as root; create non-privileged users
  • Use health checks in docker-compose
  • Networking: Check bridge networks and port mappings
  • Volumes: Verify volume mounts and permissions
  • Build cache: Use --no-cache when needed
  • Resource limits: Set memory/CPU limits appropriately
  • Use version 3+ syntax
  • Leverage environment files (.env)
  • Use depends_on with health checks
  • Implement restart policies
