Dockerfile Generator — free online tool

Writing a Dockerfile from scratch is fiddly. You half-remember the base image, the order of the steps, how to keep it small, and you end up copying bits from old projects. We added a free tool that does it for you — Dockerfile Generator — right in your browser.

What it does

Pick your stack and it gives you a clean Dockerfile, ready for a multi-stage build, plus a matching docker-compose.yml. It supports Node, Python and other common setups, so you get a sensible starting point instead of a blank file.

Nothing leaves your device

Everything happens in your browser. Your choices and the files it makes stay on your computer. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is saved on a server. When you close the tab, it's gone.

How to use it

  1. Open Dockerfile Generator and choose your stack, like Node or Python.
  2. Adjust the options to match your project.
  3. Copy or download your Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml.

It's free with no limit. There are more small tools on the Apps page.
