Knowledge?
I know how to deploy a container with docker compose but I don’t know how to build it.
I’m a .net developer and I didn’t even know you can build it into a container.
You can do it bro. Dockerfiles are basically just shell scripts with a few extras.
It uses npm to build so start with a node base container. You can find them on docker hub. Alpine-based images are a good starting point.
If you need to access files from outside of the container, include a
VOLUMEline. If it needs to be accessible from a specific network port, add anEXPOSEline. Add aCMDline at the end to start whatever command needs to be run to start the process.Save your Dockerfile and build.
I wouldn't use AppD's node agent as a starting point unless you're planning to use AppD. Which you shouldn't unless you're a big business still talking about future plans to move to the cloud.
Picking a random image from dockerhub isn't the best for security or reliability. You're better off sticking to official images offered by a large, well known project. There's even an official node image https://hub.docker.com/_/node/
Figured this would be one of the responses. Thanks. I don't interact with node very often. I assumed there was a better option but wasn't sure which.. This is just the first result.
