Need full control over the build process? Bring your own Dockerfile. Helipod supports native Dockerfiles alongside auto-detect, for custom build steps and dependencies.
Why it matters
Bring your own Dockerfile for non-standard build steps. Full control over base image and dependencies.
Separate build stage from production stage for smaller, more secure images.
Install system packages your application needs, ImageMagick, FFmpeg, or other tools.
Per-service working directory for monorepos with multiple projects in one repository.
Steps
Create a Dockerfile in your project root with the base image and build steps you need.
Connect your repository to Helipod. The system will detect the Dockerfile automatically.
Click deploy and Helipod will build the image based on your Dockerfile.
