Oh, that's really nice! What if we can standardize this process in some way? We could have sh scripts for different phases: install-prod-deps.sh, install-dev-d

  > What if we can standardize this process in some way? Surely, this would be useful as part of a platform similar to Heroku where you plug your git repository and it would fetch such scripts and generate the Docker image. It could be developed as a standalone tool that you integrate in your `git push my-heroku` hook, but I would not use it outside of that use case. Nothing beats copy/paste + some edits :) > Also, we could have a configuration schema where people define the base images, copy glob patterns, etc. Yes, copying files from stage to stage is quite a pain at the moment, that is why I have such a Dockerfile for every language I use, the copy glob pattern has already been done for 99% of my use cases. You need to understand well your toolchain to know what to copy. For example, I did not yet write such a Dockerfile for Rust or Go, where I just do the usual "build + copy binary" multistage. No caching of dependencies :(

    That's my main challenge. You need to be an expert in a language/framework to be able to develop a good Dockerfile. Hopefully, I can get more contributors to join my efforts. I will draft something and get back to you for feedback. Btw, I'm building easypanel.io and this is one of my attempts to simplify building docker images. I currently support Cloud Native Buildpacks, but it's quite a black box and people have a hard time using them.
