Recently Docker brought some new stuff that I found very useful for developers. They are still in the experimental phase but are already very useful. Try them and give your feedback to the Docker team. The code I’m using for this is available here. Let’s start… Init Writing a Dockerfile when starting with a new application is tedious. Why? Because we are repeating most of the stuff over and over again....
After building a Docker image faster, I wanted to build it for the K8s cluster. Running the container on the local machine isn’t the same as running it on a cluster. I’m packaging a Go application in my example. But the same principles apply to any other language. Starting Dockerfile I’m starting with the following Dockerfile(Dockerfile_1): ARG GO_VERSION=1.20.3 FROM golang:${GO_VERSION}-buster as builder WORKDIR /app COPY go.mod go.sum /app/ RUN go mod download -x COPY ....
During building services, we often need to build docker images. We do it multiple times a day. It can be a time-consuming task. Locally we only notice it a little, but in CI/CD pipelines, it can be a problem. In this post, I will show you how to speed up the process. I will show you how to use a cache, layer your Dockerfile, and use multi-stage builds, to make your builds faster....
