Use cases

When to use Dockerfile Formatter and Validator

Normalize Dockerfile text and catch common build-file structure errors.

1Format a Dockerfile copied from documentation
2Check a multi-stage Docker build before committing
3Find a missing FROM or malformed instruction
4Format and validate SQL, TOML, and XML configuration
5Review database queries and configuration structure before deployment
6Compare syntax and formatting problems across environments

Guidance

Get reliable results

  1. 1Review the file with the same Docker version used in deployment
  2. 2Keep base image versions explicit
  3. 3Use BuildKit and image scanning for deeper production checks
This formatter checks common Dockerfile syntax but does not build an image, audit vulnerabilities, or validate every BuildKit feature.
