Rocker is a Go-based Docker build tool that extends Dockerfiles with advanced features like attachable build stages, caching, and templating. The project was officially discontinued in early 2018 as the container ecosystem matured.

Use cases

  • build docker images with advanced dockerfile features
  • share artifacts between docker build stages
  • speed up docker builds with better caching
  • template dockerfiles with variables
  • build docker images without docker build limitations

When to choose

  • you need rocker's unique features like attachable build stages not available in docker build
  • you maintain an existing rocker-based build pipeline

When to avoid

  • starting a new project since it is discontinued and unmaintained
  • you only need standard docker build features
  • you want community support or bug fixes
