node-webserver

---

Provides a minimal webserver (via Express.js) to expose static files from the Docker host via HTTP. This image is build on Alpine Linux (base image alpine:node) and aims for a minimal size.

⁠Usage

You can expose a local directory which you want to have served via the mini-webserver by starting it with

docker run --name node-web -p 8080:8080 -v /path/to/local/folder:/app/public:ro -d netresearch/node-webserver

In this example, the port on the docker host where the node-webserver is reachable is 8080.

---

⁠Customization

You can override customize.js <customize.js>_ in order to customize the express application <http://expressjs.com/en/4x/api.html#app>_.

---

⁠Logging

The Express.js app uses morgan to pipe the web logs to the STDOUT. This means that the logs are visible via docker logs node-web (if the container name is node-web).
