This PR adds all the guides from [Visual Guides](https://bytebytego.com/guides/) section on bytebytego to the repository with proper links. - [x] Markdown files for guides and categories are placed inside `data/guides` and `data/categories` - [x] Guide links in readme are auto-generated using `scripts/readme.ts`. Everytime you run the script `npm run update-readme`, it reads the categories and guides from the above mentioned folders, generate production links for guides and categories and populate the table of content in the readme. This ensures that any future guides and categories will automatically get added to the readme. - [x] Sorting inside the readme matches the actual category and guides sorting on production

|
## 1. Use official images
|
|
|
|
This ensures security, reliability, and regular updates.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Use a specific image version
|
|
|
|
The default latest tag is unpredictable and causes unexpected behavior.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Multi-Stage builds
|
|
|
|
Reduces final image size by excluding build tools and dependencies.
|
|
|
|
## 4. Use .dockerignore
|
|
|
|
Excludes unnecessary files, speeds up builds, and reduces image size.
|
|
|
|
## 5. Use the least privileged user
|
|
|
|
Enhances security by limiting container privileges.
|
|
|
|
## 6. Use environment variables
|
|
|
|
Increases flexibility and portability across different environments.
|
|
|
|
## 7. Order matters for caching
|
|
|
|
Order your steps from least to most frequently changing to optimize caching.
|
|
|
|
## 8. Label your images
|
|
|
|
It improves organization and helps with image management.
|
|
|
|
## 9. Scan images
|
|
|
|
Find security vulnerabilities before they become bigger problems.
