appcom/nodejs repository overview

⁠NodeJS Docker Image

Default nodejs image used by appcom interactive.

⁠Usage

This image is intended to be used as base for an nodejs project.

The nodejs app needs to be copied into the /node folder inside the container. The file package.json needs to be in /node/package.json.

Normally there would be a Dockerfile and a .dockerignore file inside the project.

The Dockerfile should look like:

FROM appcom/nodejs

# install dependencies (node_modules) and copy into /node
# we install the node modules this way to benefit from the docker caching and only need to rebuild if package.json 
# changes
ADD package.json /tmp/package.json
RUN cd /tmp \
  && npm install --only=production \
  && mv /tmp/node_modules /node/node_modules \
  && rm -rf /tmp/npm-*

COPY . /node

The .dockerignore file should list all files that should't be copied into the image and look like:

.editorconfig
.git
.gitignore
Dockerfile
docker-compose.yml
node_modules
