				|  |  | +The `clojure` images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +## `clojure:<version>`
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +This is the defacto image. If you are unsure about what your needs are, you probably want to use this one. It is designed to be used both as a throw away container (mount your source code and start the container to start your app), as well as the base to build other images off of.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +## `clojure:onbuild`
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +This image makes building derivative images easier. For most use cases, creating a `Dockerfile` in the base of your project directory with the line `FROM clojure:onbuild` will be enough to create a stand-alone image for your project.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +While the `onbuild` variant is really useful for "getting off the ground running" (zero to Dockerized in a short period of time), it's not recommended for long-term usage within a project due to the lack of control over *when* the `ONBUILD` triggers fire (see also [`docker/docker#5714`](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/5714), [`docker/docker#8240`](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/8240), [`docker/docker#11917`](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/11917)).
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +Once you've got a handle on how your project functions within Docker, you'll probably want to adjust your `Dockerfile` to inherit from a non-`onbuild` variant and copy the commands from the `onbuild` variant `Dockerfile` (moving the `ONBUILD` lines to the end and removing the `ONBUILD` keywords) into your own file so that you have tighter control over them and more transparency for yourself and others looking at your `Dockerfile` as to what it does. This also makes it easier to add additional requirements as time goes on (such as installing more packages before performing the previously-`ONBUILD` steps).
