5monkeys/node repository overview

⁠node.js on alpine

node.js built on top of Alpine Linux⁠.

The aim with these images is to provide an Alpine Linux build for node.js with the same tag names that we expect the main node.js images to have once they are provided as alpine builds.

⁠Image

$ docker pull quay.io/5monkeys/node

⁠Tags

• 6.4-alpine⁠ node.js v6.4.0
• latest, 6.5-alpine⁠ node.js v6.5.0

⁠Acknowledgements

• Thanks to mhart⁠ for inspiration with the node.js build. mhart's builds are also currently half the size of our builds.

⁠Development

To create a new tag for $TAG_VERSION (e.g. 6.5) based on $SOURCE_VERSIOS (e.g. 6.5.0):

$ git checkout -b $VERSION-alpine master
$ # Update the nodejs source version in the Dockerfile
$ make set-version v=$SOURCE_VERSION
$ $EDITOR Dockerfile
$ git commit Dockerfile
$ git push -u origin $TAG_VERSION-alpine

⁠Updating a branch

If master has been updated with new build optimizations, you might want to include that in the "old" images as well.

$ git checkout $TAG_VERSION-alpine
$ git merge master
$ # Ensure that the source version is still set to the proper version
$ make set-version $SOURCE_VERSION
$ git push -u origin $TAG_VERSION-alpine
