Add stages to your multi-stage build by clicking "Add Stage". Configure each stage with base image, commands, and working directory. The tool will generate an optimized Dockerfile with proper stage naming and COPY instructions. Use "Load Example" to see a typical Node.js multi-stage build setup.
Benefits of Multi-stage Docker Builds
Multi-stage builds help reduce Docker image size by separating build dependencies from runtime dependencies. This results in smaller, more secure production images while maintaining a clean build process. Our generator ensures proper syntax and optimization patterns.
Common Multi-stage Build Patterns
This tool supports common patterns like:
- Build stage with development dependencies and compilation tools
- Production stage with only runtime dependencies and compiled artifacts
- Testing stages for running tests in isolated environments
- Multiple architecture builds for cross-platform deployment
Optimizing for Cloud Deployment
Smaller Docker images deploy faster and use less storage on cloud platforms. Kloudbean's container hosting services are optimized for efficient Docker image deployment and management.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a multi-stage Docker build?
A multi-stage build uses multiple FROM statements in a Dockerfile, allowing you to copy artifacts between stages while leaving behind unnecessary build dependencies.
Q. How much can multi-stage builds reduce image size?
Depending on your application, multi-stage builds can reduce final image size by 50-90% by excluding build tools and intermediate files.
Q. Can I use different base images for different stages?
Yes! Each stage can use a different base image. For example, use a full SDK image for building and a minimal runtime image for production.
Q. Are the generated Dockerfiles production-ready?
The generated Dockerfiles provide a solid foundation, but you should review and customize them based on your specific application requirements and security policies.
