hopsoft/nodejs repository overview

⁠Docker Image for NodeJS

⁠Building the Image

The notable files for building the Docker image are:

• Dockerfile
• assets - files copied to the image
  • build - the build script

The majority of the install logic resides in the assets/build⁠ script. The intent is to mitigate issues that arise from stacking too many AUFS layers⁠.

⁠Vagrant

This project ships with a Vagrantfile to simplify the process of using and/or building the image.

⁠Clone the Project

git clone https://github.com/hopsoft/docker-nodejs.git
cd docker-nodejs

⁠Start the Virtual Machine & Login

Note: Ports 3000, 4000, & 5000 are mapped between the host & the virtual machine.

vagrant up
vagrant ssh

⁠Build the Image

sudo docker build -t hopsoft/nodejs /vagrant

⁠Use the Image

sudo docker run -i -t -p 3000:3000 hopsoft/nodejs bash
npm install -g echo-server
echo-server 3000

Test from the host (or the virtual machine).

curl http://localhost:3000/foo/bar
