What this system is

This system is the rebar3\_docker plugin, an Erlang tool that automates the creation of Docker containers from Erlang releases. It functions by generating Dockerfiles from templates and executing builds, supporting configuration for image tags, ports, and environment variables. Recent updates have expanded its capabilities to include multi-platform build support and more flexible builder image customization. The system remains focused on streamlining the containerization workflow for Erlang applications within the rebar3 ecosystem.

How it got here

2023 — Initial release of rebar3\_docker plugin

1 change.

This commit introduces the initial version (0.1.0) of the rebar3\_docker plugin, a tool for building Docker containers from Erlang releases. The plugin adds a \rebar3 docker build\ command that generates a Dockerfile using a Mustache template and executes the Docker build process. It supports configuration via the rebar config for Docker image tags, Erlang base image versions, exposed ports, environment variables, and build/runtime packages, and includes logic to pass SSH agent sockets for private repository access during the build.

2024 — Docker build platform support and builder image customization

1 change.

Users can now specify multiple Docker platforms for builds via the new 'platform' configuration option, which passes the corresponding --platform flag to the Docker CLI. The default Erlang version for the builder image has been updated to 25.3.2.2, and the system now automatically derives the builder image from the Erlang version if a custom 'builder\_image' is not explicitly provided. Additionally, the Docker build profile selection logic has been corrected to pick the last profile in the list rather than the first.

stritzinger/rebar3_docker was measured the same way every project in this corpus was: the same rubric, at a pinned commit, with the result published in full. Point a surveyor at a repository you know and see whether you agree with it.

About this page

  • The score is its most recent published measurement, taken on 2 October 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit 1ba7df7b18b591a0f751131d64e92924ea1e7525 — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric-2026.09.18 — the same rubric and the same method as every other entry in this index.
  • Measured by watchdog.canine.dev using codehealth-analyzer preprod-e569280dd5e2.
