Dockerfiler

Abstract

A Python package that generates Dockerfiles given some prompts

Description

Dockerfiler is a Python package that creates Dockerfiles based on templates and parameters entered by the user.

It uses Jinja2 for the templates and InquirerPy to retrieve the specific parameters.

The package is published to PyPi and can be used by running uvx dockerfiler.

Development process

I was tired of making the same Dockerfile again and again, so I decided to develop a tool that could automate the procedure. I started looking into Jinja2 for the creation of templates, and decided to publish the package in PyPi so that me and everyone who needed it could use it in a very easy way.

It relies heavily on the extension of previously created templates, so that the addition of new ones is fast and simple.
