stephenafamo/adonisjs repository overview

⁠AdonisJs Docker image

This is a docker image for AdonisJs

⁠How to use

pull the docker image

docker pull stephenafamo/adonisjs:1.0.0

Run the docker image and create your container

docker run --name adonisjs adonisjs

⁠Volumes and working directory

The working directory inside the container is /var/www so to keep your application data, you can mount a directory onto that volume

docker run --name adonisjs -v /path/to/app:/var/www stephenafamo/adonisjs:1.0.0

You can change the working directory by passing the -w flag, if you do, please make sure to update the mounted volume to preserve data. For example

docker run --name adonisjs -w /usr/app -v /path/to/app:/usr/app stephenafamo/adonisjs:1.0.0

⁠Custom application type

If the working directory is empty, the image will create a new adonis application in that directory. To modify the type of application add flags to the adonisFlags environmental variable.

docker run --name adonisjs -v /path/to/app:/var/www -e "adonisFlags=--slim --yarn" stephenafamo/adonisjs:1.0.0

To see possible options, visit the documentation⁠

⁠Server type

By default the server started is the development server, which will watch for changes to files. However, if the NODE_ENV in the .env file is set to production it will start the production server. This does not watch for changes to files.

⁠Viewing your application in your browser

This image will start the adonis server using the HOST and PORT specified in your .env file.

⁠HOST

Because of the way docker works. If you already have an Adonis application and you want to run it in a docker container, you'll have to chage the HOST in your .env file to 0.0.0.0.

If you used this image to create the application, it will do this for you.

⁠PORT

The default port of adonis applications is 3333. If the application was created by this imaged, it is changed to 80

To be able to visit your application, map a port on your host machine to the application port defined in the .env file.

docker run --name adonisjs -v /path/to/app:/var/www -p 1234:80 stephenafamo/adonisjs:1.0.0

Then you can visit the application on http://0.0.0.0:1234
