Docker

Quick start

Section titled “Quick start”
Terminal window
tinkerise add docker

What it detects

Section titled “What it detects”

The docker module checks whether either of these files already exists:

  • Dockerfile
  • .dockerignore

If one or both files are present, the enhancement is considered installed.

What it installs

Section titled “What it installs”

docker is config-only. It does not add packages.

It writes:

  • Dockerfile
  • .dockerignore

Framework-aware behavior

Section titled “Framework-aware behavior”

The module chooses a Docker template using project context and filesystem markers:

  • next/remix -> Next.js-style Node image flow
  • react/vue/svelte/astro -> Vite-style static build + nginx runtime
  • requirements.txt or pyproject.toml containing fastapi/django -> Python image flow
  • go.mod -> Go image flow
  • Cargo.toml -> Rust image flow
  • fallback -> generic Node.js image flow

Each path gets a matching .dockerignore pattern set.

File and config changes

Section titled “File and config changes”
  • Creates multi-stage Dockerfile tuned to detected framework type
  • Creates .dockerignore with framework-appropriate ignores
  • Adds no new dependencies

Conflict handling

Section titled “Conflict handling”

When Docker files already exist, detection marks the module as installed. If writes conflict in interactive mode, tinkerise presents a diff and lets you choose replace or skip.
