SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Efficiently running mise inside Docker by keeping tools in a builder stage and runtime artifacts lean, which speeds up builds and improves security.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-stage Dockerfile patterns to install mise in the builder stage and copy only necessary artifacts to runtime.
  • BuildKit cache mounts to preserve tool installations across builds.
  • Guidance on when to include mise in the runtime stage (e.g., if the runtime installs a mise-managed interpreter) and how to structure a clean container.

Quick Start

Use a multi-stage Dockerfile pattern that installs mise in the builder stage and copies only the built artifacts into the runtime stage.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep Docker images lean when running mise inside containers?

To keep Docker images lean, use a multi-stage Dockerfile pattern that installs mise in the builder stage and copies only the necessary built artifacts into the runtime stage.

What is the best way to cache mise tool installations across Docker builds?

The best way to cache mise tool installations across Docker builds is by utilizing BuildKit cache mounts within your multi-stage Dockerfile to preserve downloaded tools.

Should I install mise in the builder stage or the runtime stage of a Dockerfile?

Install mise in the builder stage to compile tools and keep the runtime stage lean, unless the runtime explicitly requires a mise-managed interpreter to execute the application.

Does the mise Docker pattern support non-root user configurations?

Yes, the canonical mise Docker pattern includes non-root user configurations to improve container security by avoiding running applications as the root user inside the runtime image.

When do I need to include mise in the Docker runtime stage instead of just the builder?

You need to include mise in the Docker runtime stage only when the runtime environment actively depends on installing a mise-managed interpreter or tooling to run the application.
