otium360organization/express repository overview

⁠otium360organization/express

otium360 base Dockerfile for Express (NodeJs) HTTP server.

⁠Base Docker Image

• node:0.10⁠

⁠Usage

This image assumes that your application:

• has a file named server.js as the entrypoint script
• listens on port 8080

The image will add to the container a file /express/package.json with the required NPM dependencies and install them locally to /express folder. NPM dependencies:

• express
• serve-static

The default command is

CMD ['npm', 'start']

⁠Extending via Dockerfile

This image uses the /express directory as the root for your NodeJS/Express server, so you must copy here the server.js file and your web resources (HTML, JS, CSS and the like).

Sample Dockerfile:

FROM otium360organization/express
MAINTAINER Bálder Carraté <[email protected]>
ADD server.js /express/server.js
ADD www       /express/www

Sample server.js:

'use strict';
var express = require('express');
var serveStatic = require('serve-static');
var app = express();
app.use(serveStatic('www', {'index': ['index.html']}));
app.listen(8080, function () {
  console.log('MyApp is ready at http://localhost:8080');
});

⁠Building the image and running the container

Sample execution:

docker build -t my-app-express /path/to/your/Dockerfile
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name my-app-express my-app-express
