Docker Bootstrap enables a developer to make use of Docker to bootstrap
applications with Dockerfiles and docker-compose
to keep their local computer
clean.
Generally, the concept is using a Dockerfile to create a Docker image with the minimum amount of dependencies needed to bootstrap a new application for local development.
After building the Docker image, the Docker image can then be used for using
with docker-compose
to run
commands or even bring up a service (using up
).
