arizonatribe/nodevana repository overview

⁠Nodevana

A NodeJs Alpine image with bash and git as the only packages. This works well as a base image for any NodeJs application. Just pull it by name on the FROM line in your own Dockerfile.

⁠Dependencies

Docker and Docker-Compose are required to run this application, which are packaged together for Mac⁠ and Windows⁠ users. For Linux users (unless on Ubuntu⁠), follow the instructions for installing the Docker Engine⁠ and Docker Compose⁠.

⁠Building the Docker Image

Run the following from the command line at the root of this directory:

make docker

That command will build an image (using the Dockerfile "recipe" in this project folder) from which containers can be created.

⁠Running the Container

This container can be run by creating a Docker Compose file (yaml) OR manually from the command line like this:

docker run --name=nodevana -d nodevana

⁠Environment variables

The following are available but are optional (since they have default values already set in the Dockerfile), however if you change one of the VERSION/DOWNLOAD_ variables, you will need to change all three of them.

• BUILD_PACKAGES - A list of Alpine build packages to install (defaults to just the three: "bash build-base git").
