Every language has its own quirks, and every framework has a special way of building things.

I was looking for a collection of well-written and well-maintained Dockerfiles, but I couldn't find one.

Thus, I thought of creating one!

I realized it's not enough to have a simple Dockerfile. Sometimes you need other files for your build: nginx.conf, php.ini, my.cnf, etc.

I also realized that people have different preferences. In Node, some use NPM, some use YARN, some use PNPM. In PHP, some use Apache, some use FPM with Nginx.

So I build a set of "builders", Dockerfile generators. You define a form using JSON Schema, and then define a function "generate" that returns an array of files.

In the future, I can make a CLI tool that will generate prompts, similar to how the form is generated on the web.

For now, I only implemented a builder for Next.js based on their official Dockerfile example.

1. Do you have any feedback for this project?

2. Can you link some good Dockerfiles that I should include?
