Docker Workflows

What it does

This skill, Docker Workflows by autumnsgrove, automates common tasks related to building and managing containerized applications using pre-built Docker workflows. It provides templates and examples for creating Dockerfiles, setting up docker-compose environments, and managing container secrets. The skill is particularly useful for Python/UV projects and demonstrates multi-stage build techniques.

When to use it

• When you need to create a Dockerfile for your application.
• For setting up and configuring docker-compose environments.
• If you're containerizing Python/UV projects.
• To implement multi-stage builds in your Docker workflows.
• When managing sensitive information like container secrets.

Key capabilities

• Provides templates for basic Dockerfiles (including a Python/UV example).
• Demonstrates multi-stage build techniques for optimized production images.
• Includes an example docker-compose configuration for applications with dependencies (like databases).
• Offers guidance on managing container secrets.
• Supplies a .dockerignore file to exclude unnecessary files from Docker builds.

Example prompts

• "Create a basic Dockerfile for my Python application."
• "Show me an example of a multi-stage build in Docker."
• "Generate a docker-compose configuration with an app and database container."

Tips & gotchas

• This skill provides templates and examples; you'll need to adapt them to your specific project requirements.
• Familiarity with basic Docker commands (e.g., docker build, docker run) is helpful for understanding the provided workflows.
• The Python/UV example requires UV to be installed in your environment or accessible via a container image.
