Docker containerization reference — multi-stage builds, Compose configs, image optimization, and container security for Yarn 4 monorepos. Use when: (1) creating or optimizing Dockerfiles, (2) configuring docker-compose for dev or production, (3) reducing image size with multi-stage builds, (4) hardening container security, or (5) setting up health checks and resource limits.From its SKILL.md

Docker — Containerization for Monorepos

Docker best practices for Node.js monorepos with Yarn 4 Berry.

<rules>

Key Principles

Minimal images: Alpine-based, only runtime dependencies in final stage
Layer caching order: system deps → package manifests → install → source → build
Non-root users: Create app user, never run as root in production
One process per container: Compose multiple containers, not multiple processes
Health checks on every service: Use the existing /health endpoint

Image Optimization Quick Reference

Use node:22-alpine as base
Multi-stage builds: exclude build tools from final image
yarn cache clean after install
.dockerignore: exclude .git, node_modules, *.md, .env*, .claude, __tests__, coverage, .turbo
--production flag for runtime dependencies only
Pin base image versions (not just latest)

Container Security Quick Reference

Run as non-root user (addgroup --system app && adduser --system --ingroup app app)
Don't store secrets in images — use env vars or secrets management
Scan images: docker scout cves <image>
Set resource limits in compose: mem_limit, cpus
Read-only filesystem where possible: read_only: true
Drop capabilities: cap_drop: [ALL]

</rules>

Useful Commands

docker compose build api          # Build specific service
docker compose up -d              # Start all services
docker compose logs -f api        # Follow logs
docker compose exec api sh        # Shell into container
docker images | grep myapp    # Check image sizes
docker system df                  # View cache usage
docker system prune -a            # Prune unused images
docker stats                      # Resource usage
