Production image

A shippable image derived from the one this project already runs: same PHP version, same extensions, same web server.

It is not a copy of the development image. That one has no application code in it (your source is mounted from disk) and carries Xdebug.

Controls

Control What it does
Image tag The name of the image to build.
Build Builds the image.
Check Verifies the image before it is pushed.
Push Sends a verified image to a registry.
Deployment recipe Gives you a compose file that runs the image.
Load a package Reads a saved .tar back into this machine's Docker.

What the card shows

  • Excluded — files kept out of the image.
  • Dockerfile used — what the production image builds from.
  • What the image actually contains — the contents of the built image.

Worth knowing

  • StackVo only pushes a verified image, and only to a tag carrying a registry name.
  • A registry keeps layers. Deleting the tag afterwards does not remove what is inside it.
  • Load needs neither a project nor a plan. It is the receiving end of an air-gapped transfer.
