Docker multi-stage builds is a technique that allows defining multiple build stages in a single Dockerfile, reducing the image size and improving build efficiency.<\/p>\n

The steps for implementing Docker multi-stage builds are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In the Dockerfile, multiple build stages are defined with each stage using the FROM instruction to specify a base image and carry out the corresponding build steps within it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    # \u7b2c\u4e00\u4e2a\u6784\u5efa\u9636\u6bb5<\/span>\r\nFROM<\/span> base_image as builder\r\n# \u6267\u884c\u6784\u5efa\u6b65\u9aa4<\/span>\r\n\r\n# \u7b2c\u4e8c\u4e2a\u6784\u5efa\u9636\u6bb5<\/span>\r\nFROM<\/span> base_image\r\nCOPY<\/span> --from=builder \/app \/app<\/span>\r\n# \u6267\u884c\u5176\u4ed6\u6784\u5efa\u6b65\u9aa4<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Generate the necessary files or build the application in the first stage and then copy these files to the second stage of building.<\/li>\n
    2. Copy files from the first build stage to the second build stage using the –from option.<\/li>\n
    3. To ultimately retain only the results of the second build stage when building an image, you can specify the target stage with the –target option in the docker build command.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      docker build --target builder -t final_image .\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      Using Docker multi-stage builds can optimize image size and build efficiency, making it a recommended technique for building complex applications or images.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
