A collection of Dockerfile examples and management scripts for popular applications like WordPress, Jenkins, and Redis.
Dockerfile-examples is a repository containing Dockerfile configurations and management scripts for various popular applications and services. It provides ready-to-use examples for containerizing applications like WordPress, Jenkins, Redis, and Ghost, along with a script to manage the container lifecycle. The project helps developers quickly deploy and manage multi-container setups using Docker.
Developers and DevOps engineers who want to learn Docker best practices or need pre-configured Docker setups for common applications. It's particularly useful for those deploying web applications, databases, or CI/CD tools in containers.
It saves time by providing battle-tested Docker configurations and a unified management script, eliminating the need to write Dockerfiles from scratch. The image layering approach demonstrates efficient Docker practices, and the trusted images on Docker Hub offer a quick start without local builds.
Dockerfile examples
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Includes ready-to-use Dockerfiles for popular apps like WordPress and Jenkins, saving time for common deployments, as shown in the config.yaml keys.
The env.sh script simplifies building, starting, and stopping containers with a YAML config, reducing manual Docker command complexity.
Shows efficient Docker inheritance to minimize duplication, as illustrated in the README's layer diagram for apps like Redis and Apache.
Pre-built images on Docker Hub allow skipping local builds, enabling faster setup for apps like Ghost or Hipache.
Requires Docker 1.3 or above, which is obsolete; modern features and security updates from newer versions are not supported.
Depends on specific tools like shyaml for YAML parsing, adding installation steps that complicate initial use on Ubuntu or Mac OSX.
Only supports applications defined in config.yaml; adding new services requires manual script and directory modifications, lacking flexibility.
Relies on Docker Hub images from a single user (komljen), which may not be maintained or audited, posing potential security and reliability issues.
