docker_deploy

Purpose

Deploy services with small, understandable Docker configuration.

Rules

• Keep Dockerfiles minimal.
• Use .dockerignore.
• Use docker-compose.yml for local multi-service runs.
• Mount volumes only when needed.
• Store secrets in environment variables, never in images.
• Use restart policies for long-running services.
• Add healthchecks for services.
• Route logs to stdout/stderr.
• Avoid exposing ports publicly unless required.

Compose Defaults

• restart: unless-stopped
• named volumes for persistent data
• explicit ports
• no hardcoded secrets
• healthcheck for web/API services
