A Gradle plugin for managing Docker images and containers via the Docker remote API, built on the Docker Java library. It provides DSL-based tasks for building, pushing, and running Docker images, plus conventions for Java and Spring Boot applications with generated Dockerfiles.

Use cases

• build docker images from gradle builds
• push docker images to a registry as part of ci
• dockerize a spring boot application with gradle
• generate dockerfiles automatically for java apps
• run and manage docker containers during integration tests
• manage docker containers from build scripts

When to choose

• you use Gradle and want Docker builds integrated into your build DSL
• you need to build, tag, or push images without shelling out to the Docker CLI
• you want convention-based Dockerfiles for Java or Spring Boot apps

When to avoid

• you need Docker Compose multi-container orchestration
• you manage Docker Swarm or Stacks
• your project uses Maven or a non-JVM build tool
