Dockerize Current Project (Minimal)

Goal

Analyze the current project’s files and generate a minimal, working Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml so the project can be started with docker compose up --build .

Instructions

• Inspect the current project structure and identify the primary tech stack:

• Python (pyproject.toml, uv.lock, requirements.txt, manage.py, app.py, main.py)

• Node.js (package.json)

• Other / generic

• Check whether Docker-related files already exist:

• Dockerfile

• docker-compose.yml / docker-compose.yaml

• .dockerignore

• If any exist, do NOT overwrite them. Ask the user whether to merge, regenerate with backups, or cancel.

• Infer a reasonable default entrypoint and port from the codebase.

• If the entrypoint or port is unclear, ask up to three concise clarification questions.

• Generate the following files as complete code blocks:

• Dockerfile (development-oriented, readable, non-root when reasonable)

• docker-compose.yml (no version: field)

• .dockerignore

• Prefer bind mounts for local development and explain how to change this if needed.

Constraints

• Do not use sudo .

• Do not hardcode secrets; use environment variables or an .env / .env.docker template if necessary.

• Do not run Docker commands automatically.

• Keep the setup minimal and easy to modify.

Output Format

• Detection Summary

• Detected stack

• Assumed entrypoint

• Assumed port

• Generated Files

• Dockerfile

• docker-compose.yml

• .dockerignore

• How to Run

• docker compose up --build

• Common commands (logs , exec )

• Notes

• What to change if the entrypoint, port, or environment differs.

Example

User: Dockerize this project for local development

Result:

• Detect Python project

• Generate Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml

• Explain how to start and customize
