AI-Powered Docker Configuration Generator

Analyze your project, generate Dockerfiles & docker-compose.yaml, and learn from build errors with AI.


wunderunner (wxr) is a CLI tool that uses AI agents to analyze your codebase and generate production-ready Docker configurations. Point it at any project and it figures out the rest: scanning your dependencies, generating optimized Dockerfiles, and building containers.

Self-healing by design. When builds fail, wunderunner doesn't just report errors. It analyzes logs, identifies the root cause, fixes the configuration, and tries again. This iterative loop continues until your container runs successfully or the issue requires human intervention.

Built with Pydantic AI for structured agent workflows. Inspired by Repo2Run and Railpack.

Quick Start

# Login with your Anthropic account (Claude Pro/Max subscription)
uvx wunderunner auth login

# Run on any project
uvx wunderunner /path/to/your/project

That's it. wunderunner analyzes your project and generates Docker configs.

Loading

The loop continues until success. Each failure feeds back as a learning, informing the next generation attempt with specific context about what went wrong and how to fix it.


Features

Feature Description
Project Analysis Reads package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, go.mod, and more
Smart Defaults Chooses appropriate base images, build stages, and runtime configs
Self-Healing Builds Automatically diagnoses failures, fixes configs, and retries
Iterative Learning Each error informs the next attempt until the build succeeds

Key Concepts

Human in the Loop

When automatic retries are exhausted, wunderunner asks for help instead of giving up. You provide a hint, maybe the project needs a specific system dependency, or uses an unconventional setup. Your hint becomes part of the context for the next attempt.

❌ Build failed after 3 attempts
💬 What should I know about this project?
> This uses puppeteer and needs chromium installed

✓ Got it. Retrying with that context...

Learnings & Context

Every failure teaches the system something. Learnings accumulate across retry cycles:

  • Phase: Where it failed (build, start, healthcheck)
  • Error type: What kind of failure occurred
  • Error message: The actual error output
  • Context: Additional info (previous fixes tried, human hints)

The Dockerfile generator receives all learnings, allowing it to avoid repeating mistakes and build on what worked.

Caching

Analysis results are cached in .wunderunner/ to avoid re-scanning unchanged projects:

wxr /path/to/project           # Uses cache if available
wxr /path/to/project --rebuild # Ignores cache, fresh analysis

Cached artifacts:

  • Project structure analysis
  • Detected runtime and framework
  • Environment variables and secrets
  • Generated Dockerfile and docker-compose.yaml

Runtime Healing

Failures during build, start, or healthcheck trigger the ImproveDockerfile agent. This unified agent can:

  • Modify the Dockerfile (add missing packages, fix commands)
  • Modify project files (remove problematic configs like .babelrc)
  • Update docker-compose.yaml (fix port mappings, remove bad volumes)
  • Add .dockerignore entries to exclude conflicting files

The agent reads error messages carefully and applies targeted fixes. If it modifies docker-compose.yaml, it skips regeneration and goes directly to build.
