Bun Dockerfile generator

Generate a production Dockerfile for a Bun app — cached installs, an optional build stage and a non-root runtime.

Configure

Used for the image tag, the compose service and the OCI labels.
The port the app listens on inside the container. Keep it above 1024 so the process can bind it without root.
Bun runs TypeScript directly, so this can be a .ts file.
Runs your `build` script and ships the bundle instead of the source tree.
Adds the database to docker-compose.yml with a healthcheck, a named volume and a DATABASE_URL wired into the app.
Adds Redis to docker-compose.yml and exposes REDIS_URL to the app.

What this Dockerfile does

Nothing flagged

  • Good practice: Multi-stage build (3 stages)

    Compilers, dev dependencies and source files stay in the build stages. Only the runtime artefacts are copied into the final image.

  • Good practice: Runs as bun, not root

    A container escape from a root process is a host root process. Dropping privileges is the cheapest hardening step there is.

  • Good practice: .dockerignore keeps secrets out of the build context

    `.git`, `.env` and local dependency folders never reach the daemon, so they cannot end up in a layer or in `docker history`.

  • Good practice: Dependency cache persists across builds

    BuildKit cache mounts keep the package manager store outside the image. Rebuilds after a lockfile change reuse everything already downloaded, and the cache adds nothing to the final size.

  • Good practice: Healthcheck defined

    Docker, Compose and Easypanel can tell the difference between a running process and a working app, and restart it when it wedges.

  • Good practice: Uses the image's built-in `bun` user

    The official oven/bun images already ship a non-root user, so there is no need to create one.

  • Note: Requires BuildKit

    BuildKit is the default builder in Docker 23 and later. On anything older, export `DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1` before building.

  • Note: A distroless variant is available

    oven/bun ships a distroless tag with no shell and no package manager. Switch the base image above if you do not need to exec into the container.

  • Note: Estimated image size: ~60–120 MB

    A rough band for the final stage, before your own dependencies. Run `docker images` after a build for the real number.

How to use it

Everything runs locally. Nothing is uploaded, and no account is needed.

  1. Drop the files into your project root

    Every generated file belongs next to your package manifest — the Dockerfile references paths relative to the build context, so nesting them in a subfolder breaks the COPY lines.

  2. Build the image

    docker build -t bun-app .

  3. Run it

    docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 bun-app

  4. Or bring up the whole stack

    docker compose up --build
