Docker Configuration Pattern

Containerize Next.js applications with multi-stage Docker builds, Docker Compose orchestration, health checks, and Prisma integration.

What's Included#

  • Multi-stage Dockerfile with dependency, builder, and runner stages for minimal image size
  • Next.js standalone output configuration for optimized container builds
  • Docker Compose for production with PostgreSQL, Redis, and health checks
  • Development Docker Compose with hot reload and volume mounts
  • Health check API endpoint with database connectivity verification
  • Prisma client generation and database migration scripts for containers

Via AI Assistant#

Ask your AI assistant:

  • "Use the Docker configuration pattern from Bootspring"
  • "Apply the Bootspring Docker pattern to my project"

Key Considerations#

  • Use multi-stage builds to keep the final production image small and free of dev dependencies
  • Run containers as a non-root user for security
  • Never bake secrets into Docker images; pass them as environment variables at runtime
  • Order Dockerfile commands for optimal layer caching (dependencies before source code)
  • Use Next.js standalone output mode to include only the files needed for production
