Do you have any experience reports to share? What kind of thing does this let you do, or make easier, compared with managing raw Dockerfile / Containerfile?
For a single Dockerfile it probably doesn’t make a ton of sense. I suspect the use case is more for generating lots of them out of variegated inputs.
We are using Dhall to manage a collection of containers which needs to share some common statements for CI purpose. Using direct Text interpolation is a bit error prone and that doesn’t compose well: e.g. should the common bits includes the CMD
or ENV
prefix? Also, having a common dhall-containerfile library let us re-use patterns such as a list of command separated by &&
.
