strongloop/node repository overview

⁠strongloop-docker

StrongLoop, Node, and tools.

NOTE: these images are mostly a proof of concept. If you want to use StrongLoop in Docker you probably want to look at strongloop/strong-pm⁠.

⁠Usage

The strongloop/node image can be used interactive or as the base for other containers.

⁠Tags

strongloop/node comes in the following flavours:

• strongloop/node:latest - latest node compiled from source + strongloop
• strongloop/node:iojs - latest iojs compiled from source + strongloop

⁠Interactive

Once you have Docker installed and the docker command working, you can pull the image from Docker Hub:

$ docker pull strongloop/node
# .... pulling down image

Now you can spin up a temporary Linux environment with node and strongloop pre-installed:

$ docker run -it strongloop/node bash
$ slc --version
strongloop v3.1.0 (node v0.10.38)

⁠Base Image

To use strongloop/node as the base for an image, simply specify it in your Dockerfile using FROM strongloop/node:

FROM strongloop/node

# You start off as the 'strongloop' user.
# If a RUN command needs root, you can use sudo

# In addition to standard Linux commands you also have access to node, npm,
# and slc commands

# It is common to copy your current
ADD . /home/strongloop/app
WORKDIR /home/strongloop/app
RUN npm install
ENV NODE_ENV production
CMD [ "slc", "run", "." ]
