# Docker Patterns
Docker and Docker Compose best practices for containerized development.
## When to Activate
- Setting up Docker Compose for local development
- Designing multi-container architectures
- Troubleshooting container networking or volume issues
- Reviewing Dockerfiles for security and size
- Migrating from local dev to containerized workflow
## Docker Compose for Local Development
### Standard Web App Stack
```yaml
# docker-compose.yml
services:
app:
build:
context: .
target: dev # Use dev stage of multi-stage Dockerfile
ports:
- "3000:3000"
volumes:
- .:/app # Bind mount for hot reload
- /app/node_modules # Anonymous volume -- preserves container deps
environment:
- DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@db:5432/app_dev
- REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379/0
- NODE_ENV=development
depends_on:
db:
condition: service_healthy
redis:
condition: service_started
command: npm run dev
db:
image: postgres:16-alpine
ports:
- "5432:5432"
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
POSTGRES_DB: app_dev
volumes:
- pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
- ./scripts/init-db.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init.sql
