== Base and Composed Images

Never build or compose from a latest tag.

Dockerfile

Use Metadata Labels

Define the Maintainers

Which Users inside the Image

Define the App Name

Define the WORKDIR

Use COPY instead of ADD

Never add passwords, hostnames, externals paths, tokens, and keys into images. Use a .dockerignore file to avoid a hazardous COPY instruction, which pulls in sensitive information from the build context.

Minimize the Image Size

What to Package

What do we put inside a Docker image.
