render-docker

What problem does it solve?

Render Docker deployments can be complex due to BuildKit, multi-stage builds, and private registries; this Skill provides a structured approach to defining, building, and deploying Docker-based services on Render.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Build Docker images from a repo using Dockerfile, dockerContext, and dockerfilePath.
• Use private registries with registryCredential to deploy images to Render compute services.
• Support multi-stage builds, BuildKit optimizations, and runner vs image runtimes for flexible deployments.
• Real-world use case: deploy a web service from a Git repository by building a Dockerfile and pushing to a private registry, then referencing image.url in render.yaml.

Quick Start

Create a Render web service that builds from your Dockerfile and runs the resulting image, using dockerContext, dockerfilePath, and registryCredential as needed.
