Generate a Dockerfile for Django
Generate a production-ready Django Dockerfile that separates the build stage from the runtime for a lean image. Includes a matching .dockerignore.
Dockerfile Generator
Generate production-ready Dockerfiles with multi-stage builds, security best practices, and .dockerignore files
Configure: Node.js
Best Practices: Node.js
- Copy package.json and lockfile before source code so the dependency layer is cached separately
- Use --frozen-lockfile / npm ci to ensure reproducible builds
- Multi-stage builds keep the final image small by discarding build-time dependencies
- Always run as a non-root user in production containers
- Pin your Node.js major version (e.g. node:22-alpine) for stability
# Pin to specific version in production, e.g., node:22.11-alpine
# Stage 1: Install dependencies
FROM node:22-alpine AS deps
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json package-lock.json ./
RUN npm ci
# Stage 2: Build (if applicable)
FROM node:22-alpine AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=deps /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY . .
RUN npm run build
# Stage 3: Production image
FROM node:22-alpine AS runner
LABEL org.opencontainers.image.authors="team@example.com" \
org.opencontainers.image.version="1.0.0" \
org.opencontainers.image.description="Production image"
WORKDIR /app
ENV NODE_ENV=production
# Copy only production dependencies and built output
COPY package.json package-lock.json ./
RUN npm ci --omit=dev
COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist
RUN apk add --no-cache curl
# Create non-root user for security
RUN addgroup -S appusergroup && adduser -S appuser -G appusergroup
USER appuser
EXPOSE 3000
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s --start-period=5s --retries=3 \
CMD curl -f http://localhost:3000/ || exit 1
# Use ENTRYPOINT for proper signal handling (PID 1)
ENTRYPOINT ["node"]
CMD ["dist/index.js"]
How to Use
- Select your stack and configure the options to match your project.
- Download both the
Dockerfileand.dockerignorefiles, or copy the content. - Place both files in the root of your project directory.
- Build your image:
docker build -t my-app . - Run your container:
docker run -p 3000:3000 my-app
Review before deploying. These Dockerfiles are a solid starting point but may need adjustments for your specific project structure, environment variables, and production requirements.
Quick Start
- 1Select the Django stack from the template grid
- 2Configure the Python version, port, and base image
- 3Review the generated multi-stage Dockerfile
- 4Copy or download the Dockerfile and .dockerignore
