Python tools and helpers for Mozilla's Dockerflow
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no security vulnerabilities, installs with zero dependencies, and supports current Python versions (3.9–3.13). It's well-suited if you're deploying Python web apps in containers and want to follow Mozilla's established Dockerflow conventions without writing custom health check logic.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later.
- Framework-specific integrations available for Django, Flask, and FastAPI.
- Low friction installation with no runtime dependencies.

What it is and what it does
Dockerflow is a Python package that implements Mozilla's Dockerflow pattern—a standardized approach for containerized web applications to expose health checks and deployment metadata. It provides framework-specific helpers for Django, Flask, and FastAPI, allowing you to quickly add the required HTTP endpoints that container orchestrators and load balancers expect during deployment and runtime monitoring.
The package handles the boilerplate of implementing version endpoints, readiness checks, and liveness probes without requiring you to write custom logic for each framework. It's designed for teams running containerized Python web services who want to follow Mozilla's established patterns for graceful deployment and health signaling.
Use it for
- Add standardized health check endpoints to a Django application for Kubernetes or Docker Swarm deployments
- Implement version reporting and deployment metadata endpoints in Flask microservices
- Enable FastAPI services to signal readiness and liveness to container orchestrators
- Ensure consistent health check behavior across multiple Python web frameworks in a microservices architecture
