tdmalone/codebuild-docker-node repository overview

⁠Docker in Docker with Node, for CodeBuild

An unofficial Dockerfile for CodeBuild, combining the official Docker (in Docker) and Node environments.

Based on AWS' Docker 17.09⁠ and Node 6.3.1⁠ Dockerfiles.

For more information see the official repo⁠.

⁠Using in CodeBuild

To use this Dockerfile in your build, create a new CodeBuild project, or update an existing one. Then:

• In the Environment: How to build section, select Specify a Docker image
• Choose Linux as your Environment type
• Choose Other for Custom image type
• For the Custom image ID, enter tdmalone/codebuild-docker-node
• Select the Privileged checkbox

This will run your build with this image⁠, which is built from this current repo.

Then, in your buildspec.yml, somewhere before you run or build a Docker image, make sure you execute this:

nohup /usr/local/bin/dockerd --host=unix:///var/run/docker.sock --host=tcp://0.0.0.0:2375 --storage-driver=overlay&
timeout 15 sh -c "until docker info; do echo .; sleep 1; done"

(This comes from this AWS CodeBuild sample⁠).

⁠Running locally

If you want to run without having to build it:

docker run --interactive --privileged --tty tdmalone/codebuild-docker-node bash

That will download and start a container with the pre-built image, running the bash shell.

Otherwise, to build it yourself:

• Run git clone https://github.com/tdmalone/codebuild-docker-node.git to download this repository to your local machine.
• Change to the directory you cloned into, eg. cd codebuild-docker-node.
• Run docker build --tag codebuild-docker-node . to build the Docker image locally.
• Once succeeded, you can then run docker run --interactive --privileged --tty codebuild-docker-node bash to start the container in a bash shell.

You can see the docker build⁠ and docker run⁠ references for more.

⁠Changes from the originals

Based on CodeBuild's Docker 17.09 file⁠, this repo:

• removes the Python installation
• removes the installation of libmysqlclient-dev=5.5.58-* due to error E: Version '5.5.58-*' for 'libmysqlclient-dev' was not found
• adds the Node 6.3.1 installation
