• Container optimization

Quick Reference

Build Commands

“`bash

Build image

docker build -t : -f docker build -t golden-armada/claude-agent:latest -f deployment/docker/claude/Dockerfile .

Multi-platform build

docker buildx build –platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t : .

Build with args

docker build –build-arg VERSION=1.0.0 -t : . “`

Run Commands

“`bash

Run container

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 –name agent golden-armada/claude-agent:latest

Run with environment

docker run -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY golden-armada/claude-agent:latest

Run interactively

docker run -it –rm golden-armada/claude-agent:latest /bin/sh

Run with volume

docker run -v $(pwd):/app golden-armada/claude-agent:latest “`

Management

“`bash

List

docker ps -a docker images

Cleanup

docker system prune -f docker image prune -a -f docker container prune -f

Logs

docker logs –tail=100 -f

Exec

docker exec -it /bin/sh “`

Dockerfile Best Practices

“`dockerfile

1. Use specific base image

FROM python:3.11-slim

2. Set working directory

WORKDIR /app

3. Copy requirements first (layer caching)

COPY requirements.txt . RUN pip install –no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

4. Copy application

COPY . .

5. Create non-root user

RUN useradd -m appuser && chown -R appuser:appuser /app USER appuser

6. Expose port

EXPOSE 8080

7. Health check

HEALTHCHECK –interval=30s –timeout=3s
CMD curl -f http://localhost:8080/health || exit 1

8. Define entrypoint

CMD [“gunicorn”, “-b”, “0.0.0.0:8080”, “agent:app”] “`

Multi-Stage Build Example

“`dockerfile

Build stage

FROM node:20-alpine AS builder WORKDIR /app COPY package*.json ./ RUN npm ci COPY . . RUN npm run build

Production stage

FROM node:20-alpine WORKDIR /app COPY –from=builder /app/dist ./dist COPY –from=builder /app/node_modules ./node_modules USER node EXPOSE 3000 CMD [“node”, “dist/index.js”] “`
