Hi, I&#x27;m an engineer on the Bitnami team working on Stacksmith. If you’re already comfortable maintaining your image stack, keep writing Dockerfiles manually.<p>We don&#x27;t think that the average Python developer should have to know apt, yum, apk, the packaging multi-verse, and bash just to get a secure environment where ‘pip install’ works reliably.<p>We created Stacksmith to help application developers keep their container images up-to-date with ease, without having to worry about the underlying stack too much, whilst still giving completely visibility into what&#x27;s inside. This opens up the benefits of containers to a much wider audience of developers over time.
