What is sbt-docker?
sbt-docker is an sbt plugin that enables developers to build and push Docker images directly from their Scala projects. It integrates seamlessly with the sbt build tool, providing a DSL for defining Dockerfiles and automating container image creation, reducing the need for external scripts and manual Dockerfile management.
Scala developers using sbt as their build tool who need to containerize their applications, particularly those working on JVM-based projects that require consistent Docker image builds as part of their CI/CD pipeline.
