About:
DockerfileGraph is a command-line tool that generates visual diagrams of multi-stage Dockerfiles. It uses Graphviz to create PNG, PDF, or SVG output, making complex build processes easy to understand. This helps developers quickly debug and document their container image layers.
Key Features:
  • Generates visual diagrams from Dockerfiles
  • Supports PNG, PDF, and SVG output formats
  • Handles multi-stage builds effectively
  • Simple CLI interface with minimal configuration
Use Cases:
  • Documenting complex Docker build processes for team knowledge sharing
  • Debugging multi-stage build issues by visualizing layer dependencies
  • Code reviews to understand Dockerfile changes at a glance
Alternatives:
  • dockerfile-language-server – Provides IDE linting and validation, but does not generate visual diagrams
  • hadolint – Focuses on linting and best practices rather than visualization
