Dockerfile

note

Dockerfile patterns depend on your specific project structure. Java projects typically use a Dockerfile that copies the JAR built by Maven.

See Containerization for general patterns including:

• Multi-stage builds vs copying pre-built artifacts
• Non-root user configuration
• Health check setup
