• is there a way to modify a docker container and not building again?

  You'll still have to rebuild containers, but what I think you might want to look into are Buildpacks. https://buildpacks.io/ has some resources to learn about them.

• The best way to build docker images in go 1.17
  reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-10-16

  You might have a look at buildpacks. These are e.g. used by Cloud Run for fast building of application containers. I haven't tried it myself, though; I tend to use the Go-specific ko, mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

• New to kubernates, using Rancher/k3s, Need help deploying a python script to a container then to all my workers.

  First, you need to package your python script into a container image. /u/Stephonovich has a sample `Dockerfile` in his comment which you can use build the container image with docker or other tools like podman and kaniko. You can also give Cloud Native Buildpacks a look - the "pack" command line can recognize you are using Python and create a container image automatically.

• Buildpacks and Paketo with Ram Iyengar
  dev.to | 2021-09-15

  Ram: Yeah. I'm glad you asked that question because, like I mentioned, there are like two peaks to the Buildpacks adoption sort of curve. In the first version or first avatar of Buildpacks, they weren't very agile in terms of the platform, the end platform that they would deploy to. So Heroku started off with this. I think they open-sourced a lot of the internals. And then Cloud Foundry, which was Pivotal back in the day, had their own version of Buildpacks with their own version of the life cycle and everything. And so, it was very distinct in terms of what the target platform was for the Buildpacks to go out and make a deployment. Between the first and the second sort of peaks, Docker, or rather the popularity of containers, really took off. So Docker happened. I am just using Docker and containers very interchangeably, so; please forgive me for that.

• Is there any project which automatically builds a docker container with a flask application automatically?
  reddit.com/r/flask | 2021-09-09

  I think what you're describing is pretty much buildpacks which is what is used by Heroku e.g. the python buildpack.

  Add a Procfile to your repository. This is an alternative configuration to Dockerfile that uses Cloud Native Buildpacks, which have been popularized by Heroku. Porter uses the Procfile to build your images if a Dockerfile is not present.

  I think most/all of the Cloud competitors have PaaS offerings as well. If you check out the tutorial for a hello-world Google Cloud Run API - it's as easy as that, and they all support the Heroku-style Buildpacks: https://buildpacks.io/

  Skaffold is a tool for local Kubernetes development. It contains an opinionated workflow (that can work the same on your local workstation or within a CI pipeline) and has built-in integration with many popular and not so popular build tools such as Bazel, Jib and buildpacks. See our review of skaffold for more details.
