About:
Dockerize is a command-line utility that generates Dockerfile-compatible environment variables and wrapper scripts based on template files. It simplifies container initialization by automatically handling tasks like waiting for dependent services to become available. This tool helps streamline the process of containerizing legacy applications without requiring major code changes.
Key Features:
  • Generates environment variables from templates
  • Waits for dependent services (TCP, HTTP, etc.) before startup
  • Creates wrapper scripts for easy process management
  • Supports both Dockerfile and Docker Compose workflows
Use Cases:
  • Containerizing legacy applications that depend on other services
  • Managing startup order in multi-container Docker Compose setups
  • Simplifying configuration management across different environments
Alternatives:
  • wait-for-it – Simpler bash script, only handles TCP/HTTP connectivity checks without templating
  • docker-compose healthcheck – Native Docker feature, requires more configuration but no external dependencies
