steadyserv/node repository overview

⁠Dockerfile links

• 6.3.0, 6.3, latest (6.3/Dockerfile⁠)
• 6.0.0, 6.0 (6.0/Dockerfile⁠)
• 5.8.0, 5.8 (5.8/Dockerfile⁠)
• 0.10.43, 0.10 (0.10/Dockerfile⁠)

These images are based off the official⁠ Node.js docker images with some additional functionality:

• Any commands beginning with node or npm are ran as an unprivileged user.
• Images derived from these base images are expected to use /app as the application directory. Everything in this directory will be recursively chowned to the node user at runtime.
• On any derived images the .npm directory is excluded from the image during build to prevent the npm cache from landing in the image.

⁠Example Usage

Below is an example of how to use in a derived image:

FROM steadyserv/node:6.0.0

# set environment, can be overridden with --build-arg
ARG NODE_ENV
ENV NODE_ENV ${NODE_ENV:-production}

# allow Docker build to access your private npm registry
COPY .docker_npmrc /root/.npmrc

# Install app dependencies
COPY package.json ./
RUN npm install

# Bundle app source
COPY . ./

EXPOSE  8080

CMD ["npm", "start"]

In the example above, using --build-arg NODE_ENV=development would include dev dependencies during the install phase... otherwise it will default to production.
