render-docker

render-docker is a skill for Codex from cass-2003/local-workflow-skill. It costs 80 tokens per session (1,458 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of render-docker, MIT.

A guide to running Docker containers on Render. Docker packages an application and its runtime into an image so it can run consistently across environments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure Dockerfiles, multi-stage builds, private container images, registry credentials, build arguments, or Docker settings in a Render Blueprint.
Why use it?
It helps choose between building an image from a Dockerfile and pulling an already-built image. It also covers container build settings, private registries, caching, and image security.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

render-docker scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to render-docker — 18 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Render Docker Deployments

Render uses BuildKit for Docker builds. All compute service types that support custom runtimes can use runtime: docker (build from a Dockerfile in the repo) or runtime: image (pull a prebuilt image; no Dockerfile build on Render). Deeper patterns and copy-paste templates live under references/.

When to Use

  • Authoring or debugging a Dockerfile for a Render service
  • Choosing runtime: docker vs runtime: image in a Blueprint
  • Wiring private base images or prebuilt images with registry credentials
  • Multi-stage builds, build args, secrets, and layer caching
  • Performance and security hardening of container images on Render

For full Blueprint authoring, see render-blueprints. For end-to-end deploy flows, see render-deploy.

Render Docker Builds

  • BuildKit is used for Docker builds on Render.
  • runtime: docker: Render builds an image from your repo using dockerfilePath, dockerContext, and optional dockerCommand (overrides image CMD).
  • runtime: image: Render pulls image.url; no repo-based image build. Pair with registryCredential when the registry is private.

Blueprint Configuration

Field Role
dockerfilePath Path to the Dockerfile (default ./Dockerfile)
dockerContext Build context directory (what is sent to the daemon)
dockerCommand Overrides the container CMD after the image is built
image.url Image reference for runtime: image (registry/repo:tag or digest)
registryCredential Auth for private pulls; often fromRegistryCreds → Dashboard-stored credential

Example sketch (values illustrative):

services:
  - type: web
    name: api
    runtime: docker
    region: oregon
    plan: starter
    dockerfilePath: ./Dockerfile
    dockerContext: .
    dockerCommand: node server.js
    envVars:
      - key: PORT
        value: 10000

For runtime: image, set image.url and, if needed, registryCredential per Registry Configuration below.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
