Containerizing Flask for production involves creating a Dockerfile with Gunicorn as the application server, defining build scripts to automate versioning, and configuring registry publishing. This Skill generates the complete Docker setup, build-publish.sh script, and VERSION management so you can deploy to Docker Hub, GHCR, or ECR with a repeatable pipeline.

Yes. This Skill automates the entire build and publish workflow with a build-publish.sh script that handles version incrementing, Docker image building, and pushing to your chosen registry. It supports Docker Hub, GHCR, and ECR with your credentials, eliminating manual steps.

You need a Flask application with an entry point (e.g., app:create_app()), a requirements.txt file, Docker installed locally, and credentials for your target registry. This Skill generates the Dockerfile, build scripts, and configuration files to handle the rest.

Gunicorn is a production-grade WSGI server that replaces Flask's development server inside the container. This Skill configures Gunicorn to handle concurrent requests safely, binding to your specified port so the Flask application runs reliably in production workloads.

Yes. The Skill implements a VERSION file with auto-increment functionality, so each build automatically tags your Docker image with the next version number and publishes it to your registry without manual version tracking.

This Skill provides idempotent, repeatable production setup avoiding common mistakes like missing .dockerignore or insecure configurations. It bundles Dockerfile, build-publish.sh, and version management into one cohesive pipeline, reducing deployment errors and setup time.
