about Dockerfile

Dockerfile in the cloud, ready in under a minute.

A Dockerfile is a text file of build instructions that creates a Docker image. It starts from a base image and layers in your application code, dependencies, and runtime configuration. On RunCode, Docker and the Docker CLI are preinstalled in your workspace, so you can write, build, and run containers without any local setup.

Dockerfile instructions

A Dockerfile specifies the steps needed to build an image layer by layer. The Docker engine executes these instructions in sequence, starting with a base image and applying each directive on top. The result is a portable, reproducible image that includes everything the application needs to run: code, libraries, dependencies, and runtime.

FROM: set the base image to build on top of
RUN: execute a shell command during the build
COPY: add files from the host filesystem into the image
ENV: set an environment variable inside the image
EXPOSE: declare which port the container listens on
CMD: set the default command when the container starts
