Hi, I'm an engineer on the Bitnami team working on Stacksmith. If you’re already comfortable maintaining your image stack, keep writing Dockerfiles manually.

We don'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.

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's inside. This opens up the benefits of containers to a much wider audience of developers over time.
