New devlog, yay!

A lot of features have been implemented since the last devlog.
It can create a dockerfile with these commands:

  • FROM
  • WORKDIR
  • COPY
  • EXPOSE
  • RUN
  • ENTRYPOINT
    I have also switched the method on how the dockerfile is created. It was created by saving all the values into strings and then writing them one by one. The problem with that was that there couldn’t be multiple ports exposed. That is why i implemented to use vector arrays instead of strings. I also added support for podman because it shares a lot of similarities with docker.

First devlog, yay!
So what is this program you may ask?
This c++ program aims to eliminate the pain behind writing dockerfiles by hand by creating an interactive CLI, explaining what each step does.
So far this program does:

  • Creates a dockerfile based on the image name given
  • Builds the dockerfile
