What this skill does
Intro in this page language first. The official description stays in its original wording; we do not rewrite SKILL.md.
What it does
Use for Docker with Bun, Dockerfiles, oven/bun image, containerization, and deployments.
When to use it
The official description does not include a separate “Use when”. Per the spec, agents activate this skill when the task matches keywords in that description.
How agents load it
Per Agent Skills progressive disclosure: name and description load at startup (~100 tokens); the full SKILL.md body loads when the skill activates; scripts/, references/, and assets/ load only as needed. This file's sections: Bun Docker; Official Images; Latest stable; Specific version; Variants; Basic Dockerfile.
File analysis
File analysis: besides SKILL.md, the body references references/optimization.md, references/kubernetes.md. Those resources load on demand.

Discover The client exposes names and descriptions to the agent.
Activate Your request or the task context selects the skill and loads its instructions.
Load resources Referenced scripts, documentation and assets are used when needed.
Files referenced by the instructions · 2 references/optimization.mdreferences/kubernetes.mdThese paths are extracted from the text. Check the upstream package to verify the files exist.
Invocation syntax and available tools depend on your Agent client. Client integration guide ↗
Choose the target agent and installation scope, keep referenced package files, then verify the skill appears in the client's catalog.
This skill references supporting files. Retrieve the complete directory from the source; copying SKILL.md alone may leave missing dependencies.
Ask your Agent to install
Copy these instructions to a compatible agent and confirm the target directory matches your client.
Install the agent skill "bun-docker" into my project. The full SKILL.md and official description are at https://zicq.com/en/skills/skl-e672eed9e5a8adec-Bun-Docker.html
Save it as .cursor/skills/bun-docker/SKILL.md or .claude/skills/bun-docker/SKILL.md and keep the frontmatter name and description exactly as-is.
This skill also ships scripts/, references/, or assets/ — fetch the whole folder from https://github.com/secondsky/claude-skills instead of creating only a SKILL.md.

USER bun
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["bun", "run", "dist/index.js"]
```
## Alpine Image

RUN bun build src/index.ts --compile --outfile=app
# Runtime stage
FROM gcr.io/distroless/base
COPY --from=builder /app/app /app
ENTRYPOINT ["/app"]
```
## Docker Compose
```yaml
# docker-compose.yml
version: "3.8"
services:
app:
build: .
ports:
- "3000:3000"
environment:
- NODE_ENV=production
- DATABASE_URL=postgres://db:5432/app
depends_on:
- db
restart: unless-stopped
db:
image: postgres:16-alpine
environment:
POSTGRES_DB: app
POSTGRES_USER: user
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password
volumes:
- postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

```
## Hot Reload in Development
```yaml
# docker-compose.dev.yml
version: "3.8"
services:
app:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile.dev
ports:
- "3000:3000"
volumes:
- ./src:/app/src
- ./package.json:/app/package.json
command: bun --hot run src/index.ts
```
```dockerfile
# Dockerfile.dev
FROM oven/bun:1
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json bun.lockb ./
RUN bun install
# Source mounted as volume
CMD ["bun", "--hot", "run", "src/index.ts"]
```
## Compiled Binary
```dockerfile
FROM oven/bun:1 AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN bun install --frozen-lockfile
RUN bun build src/index.ts --compile --outfile=server
# Minimal runtime
FROM ubuntu:22.04
# Install runtime dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
ca-certificates \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
COPY --from=builder /app/server /usr/local/bin/server
USER nobody
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["server"]
```
## SQLite with Docker
```dockerfile
FROM oven/bun:1
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json bun.lockb ./
RUN bun install --frozen-lockfile
COPY . .
# Create data directory
RUN mkdir -p /app/data
# Volume for SQLite database
VOLUME /app/data
ENV DATABASE_PATH=/app/data/app.sqlite
CMD ["bun", "run", "src/index.ts"]
```
## Health Checks
```dockerfile
FROM oven/bun:1
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN bun install --frozen-lockfile
EXPOSE 3000
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s --start-period=5s --retries=3 \
CMD curl -f http://localhost:3000/health || exit 1
CMD ["bun", "run", "src/index.ts"]
```
```typescript
// Health endpoint
app.get("/health", (c) => c.json({ status: "ok" }));
```
## Environment Variables
```dockerfile
FROM oven/bun:1
WORKDIR /app
# Build-time args
ARG NODE_ENV=production
ARG API_URL
# Runtime env
ENV NODE_ENV=${NODE_ENV}
ENV API_URL=${API_URL}
COPY . .
RUN bun install --frozen-lockfile
CMD ["bun", "run", "src/index.ts"]
```
```bash
# Build with args
docker build --build-arg API_URL=https://api.example.com -t myapp .
# Run with env
docker run -e DATABASE_URL=postgres://... myapp
```
## Caching Optimization
```dockerfile
FROM oven/bun:1 AS base
WORKDIR /app
# Cache dependencies separately
FROM base AS deps
COPY package.json bun.lockb ./
RUN bun install --frozen-lockfile
# Build
FROM deps AS builder
COPY . .
RUN bun run build
# Production
FROM base AS runner
COPY --from=deps /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist
COPY package.json ./
USER bun
CMD ["bun", "run", "dist/index.js"]
```
## Secure Installation
When installing packages in Docker builds, follow supply chain security best practices:
- **Block post-install scripts** — Bun disables them by default; allow specific packages via `trustedDependencies`
- **Pin dependency versions** — Use exact versions in `package.json` for reproducible builds
- **Audit before installing** — Run `socket package score npm ` to check packages before they reach your image
Load the `dependency-upgrade` skill for full security configuration including Socket CLI integration, cooldown setup, lockfile validation, and CI enforcement.
## Security Best Practices
```dockerfile
FROM oven/bun:1-slim
WORKDIR /app
# Don't run as root
USER bun
# Copy with correct ownership
COPY --chown=bun:bun package.json bun.lockb ./
RUN bun install --frozen-lockfile --production
COPY --chown=bun:bun . .
# Read-only filesystem
# (use with: docker run --read-only)
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["bun", "run", "src/index.ts"]
```
## .dockerignore
```
node_modules
.git
.gitignore
*.md
Dockerfile*
docker-compose*
.env*
.DS_Store
coverage
dist
.bun
```
## Common Commands
```bash
# Build
docker build -t myapp .
# Run
docker run -p 3000:3000 myapp
# Run with env file
docker run --env-file .env -p 3000:3000 myapp
# Interactive shell
docker run -it oven/bun sh
# Check Bun version
docker run oven/bun bun --version
```
## Common Errors
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|-------|-------|-----|
| `bun.lockb not found` | Missing lockfile | Run `bun install` locally |
| `EACCES permission` | File ownership | Use `--chown=bun:bun` |
| `OOM killed` | Memory limit | Increase container memory |
| `No space left` | Large layers | Use multi-stage builds |
## When to Load References
Load `references/optimization.md` when:
- Image size reduction
- Layer caching
- Build performance
Load `references/kubernetes.md` when:
- K8s deployment
- Horizontal scaling
- Service mesh
