chrisdlangton/docker-phaser repository overview

⁠docker-phaser

Easy quick phaser environment for anywhere Docker runs

⁠Version

Current latest version: Phaser 3.3

⁠Docker Hub

chrisdlangton/docker-phaser⁠

⁠Install

Install docker-phaser nodejs runtime with the latest supported Phaser library

docker pull chrisdlangton/docker-phaser:latest

Specify a specific supported Phaser version

docker pull chrisdlangton/docker-phaser:3.3

⁠Features

• Secure Docker Linux environment running nodejs 9.10 typical for Phaser3 projects
• Create Phaser Web games with ease: rblopes/generator-phaser-plus⁠
• A simple static server written in node.js nbluis/static-server⁠ available on you're own configurable port (or default 3000)
• Helper functions that manage the Docker and Phaser web server (for UNIX-like environments)
• Official Phaser 3 Webpack Project Template photonstorm/phaser3-project-template⁠ available in directory /phaser/boilerplate

⁠Using the Official Template

The official Phaser 3 Webpack Project Template in /phaser/boilerplate can be started with npm start in it directory which starts a web server on port 8080.

You should get familiar with this boilerplate by making changes and testing, when ready to start you're own project it is recommended you fork the project yourself on your host and when running docker-phaser mount that project to /phaser/src by following the next step below.

Here (phaser3-sandpit⁠) is an example of where to start if you were to use the official phaser3 webpack template.

⁠Using the helper functions

Enable the helper function in a UNIX-like environment (Mac/Linux) with

source phaser.bash

⁠Project structure

1. ensure you have a package.json in the project root

2. create a .env file in the project root (using the .evn-example as a reference)

DOCKER_PHASER_ROOT=/path/to/project     # Required: set this to build and run docker-phaser with it's helper functions
PROJECT_NAME=docker-phaser              # Required: set this to build and run docker-phaser with it's helper functions
DOCKERHUB_USER=chrisdlangton            # Required: set this to build and run docker-phaser with it's helper functions
SERVER_PORT=3000                        # optionally change the static server port to bind too insdie the container
HOST_PORT=3000                          # optional, port to listen on the host side
HOST_ADDR=127.0.0.1                     # optional, address to bind to on the host side
PHASER_INDEX=src/index.html             # optionally change the static server index file from this default value
STATIC_SERVER_ARGS="--cors --no-cache"  # optional arguments for the node static server (see the link in features section)

1. all of the phaser project files should be in the src directoy within the project root

2. the static web server expects an src/index.html file, or you may choose to change it with PHASER_INDEX in your .env

3. OPTIONALLY: to preserve bash history between running containers create a .bash_history_docker file in the project root

4. OPTIONALLY: disable the static server, or rather run the webpack-dev-server only just add your own Dockerfile;

FROM chrisdlangton/docker-phaser
CMD [ "npm", "start" ]

and ensure you've added to you package.json the following;

"scripts": {
  "build": "webpack",
  "start": "npm run build && webpack-dev-server --port=8080"
}

⁠Build the docker container

Ensure you've followed the Project structure

phaser-build

this will run the latest supported version of phaser, alternatively you may provide a version

phaser-build 3.3

⁠Starting the web server

Ensure you've first run build-phaser

phaser-start

And now in the browser visit the address output. Default is localhost:3000⁠

optionally you can start the web server with a specific NODE_ENV value with

phaser-start prod

⁠Access the shell of the web server container

you can run a 1-off command inside the contaienr with

phaser-exec ls -la

or drop into a shell with just phaser-exec

⁠Stop the web server

This can simply be done with phaser-stop

⁠Restarting the web server

This can simply be done with phaser-restart

⁠Contributing

Extend the implementation by adding files and commands in your own project Dockerfile with FROM chrisdlangton/docker-phaser.

If the functionality you're adding is useful to others please consider contributing to this project by forking and createding a pull request.
