Docker Local Dev Generator

About

This skill simplifies the complex process of dockerizing projects by guiding users through an intelligent, question-driven workflow. It automatically detects your project's tech stack—including PHP/Laravel, Node.js, Python, and various CMS platforms—to suggest optimal configurations for services like Redis, databases, and mail testing. By scanning existing local images and checking for port availability, it ensures a conflict-free setup that matches your specific production requirements while saving disk space and development time.
