COPY . .
# Run
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["bun", "run", "src/index.ts"]
Multi-Stage Build (Production)
# Build stage
FROM oven/bun:1 AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json bun.lockb ./
RUN bun install --frozen-lockfile
COPY . .
RUN bun run build
# Production stage
FROM oven/bun:1-slim AS production
WORKDIR /app
# Copy only production dependencies
COPY package.json bun.lockb ./
RUN bun install --frozen-lockfile --production
# Copy built assets
COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist
# Run as non-root
USER bun
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["bun", "run", "dist/index.js"]
Alpine Image
FROM oven/bun:1-alpine
WORKDIR /app

RUN bun install --frozen-lockfile
COPY . .
CMD ["bun", "run", "src/index.ts"]
Distroless Image
# Build stage
FROM oven/bun:1 AS builder

SQLite with Docker
FROM oven/bun:1

CMD curl -f http://localhost:3000/health || exit 1
CMD ["bun", "run", "src/index.ts"]
// Health endpoint
app.get("/health", (c) => c.json({ status: "ok" }));
Environment Variables
FROM oven/bun:1
WORKDIR /app

Caching Optimization
FROM oven/bun:1 AS base
WORKDIR /app
# Cache dependencies separately
FROM base AS deps
COPY package.json bun.lockb ./
RUN bun install --frozen-lockfile
# Build
FROM deps AS builder
COPY . .
RUN bun run build
# Production
FROM base AS runner
COPY --from=deps /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist
COPY package.json ./
USER bun
CMD ["bun", "run", "dist/index.js"]
Secure Installation
When installing packages in Docker builds, follow supply chain security best practices:
- Block post-install scripts — Bun disables them by default; allow specific packages via
trustedDependencies - Pin dependency versions — Use exact versions in
package.jsonfor reproducible builds - Audit before installing — Run
socket package score npm <pkg>to check packages before they reach your image
Load the dependency-upgrade skill for full security configuration including Socket CLI integration, cooldown setup, lockfile validation, and CI enforcement.
Security Best Practices
FROM oven/bun:1-slim
WORKDIR /app
# Don't run as root
USER bun
# Copy with correct ownership
COPY --chown=bun:bun package.json bun.lockb ./
RUN bun install --frozen-lockfile --production
COPY --chown=bun:bun . .
# Read-only filesystem
# (use with: docker run --read-only)
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["bun", "run", "src/index.ts"]

Common Commands
# Build
docker build -t myapp .
# Run
docker run -p 3000:3000 myapp
# Run with env file
docker run --env-file .env -p 3000:3000 myapp
# Interactive shell
docker run -it oven/bun sh
# Check Bun version
docker run oven/bun bun --version
Common Errors
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
bun.lockb not found | Missing lockfile | Run bun install locally |
EACCES permission | File ownership | Use --chown=bun:bun |
OOM killed | Memory limit | Increase container memory |
No space left | Large layers | Use multi-stage builds |
