That's my main challenge. You need to be an expert in a language/framework to be able to develop a good Dockerfile. Hopefully, I can get more contributors to join my efforts.

I will draft something and get back to you for feedback.

Btw, I'm building easypanel.io and this is one of my attempts to simplify building docker images. I currently support Cloud Native Buildpacks, but it's quite a black box and people have a hard time using them.

Oh, that's really nice! What if we can standardize this process in some way?

We could have sh scripts for different phases: install-prod-deps.sh, install-dev-deps.sh, run-tests.sh, build.sh, etc.

Also, we could have a configuration schema where people define the base images, copy glob patterns, etc.

I've developed http://whos.it. The source code has a really nice architecture - it supports more TLDs than other services like it - it supports web scraping for TLDs that don't have a standard whois server - parsing data is also implemented. I wanted to convert it into a API to sell subscriptions, but I already busy with other projects.
