Automating a multi-stage Docker build pipeline involves managing separate builder and production stages for optimized image sizes. This Skill orchestrates those stages, handling environment-specific configurations like docker-compose.dev.yml for local development and GHCR images for production.

Post-build verification in a Docker CI/CD pipeline should enforce build invariants and perform automated checks. This Skill verifies CSS content types and sizes, validates security header configurations, and documents known failure modes to ensure reliable containerized deployments.

Environment configuration for Docker builds manages differences between local development and production. This Skill uses docker-compose.dev.yml for local setups and GHCR images for production, ensuring the build process mirrors production environments and catches errors early.

Docker build failures during CI/CD deployment often stem from broken dependencies or misconfigured environments. This Skill includes a failure mode registry that documents common build issues and their solutions, accelerating debugging for containerized deployments.

You need Docker Compose to run multi-stage builds locally for this application. Developers can confidently run docker-compose up --build locally, knowing the defined build steps and verification checks mirror production environments.
