Dockerize app about ethics-app HOT 2 OPEN

Yes, totally! 👍

from ethics-app.

I've created a first prototype, which is based on

• this blog post: https://github.com/BretFisher/node-docker-good-defaults
• a Dockerimage we use in our project: https://github.com/o2r-project/o2r-muncher/blob/master/Dockerfile
• alpine base images for small image sizes

See branch https://github.com/nuest/Ethics-app/tree/docker

Status (will update here)

Dockerfile builds and can be run with make run_dev.

~/git/Ethics-app/docker$ make run_dev
docker run -it -e NODE_ENV=development ethics-app

Issues & Open Tasks

• fix configuration (see server.js changes) to actually use defaults for missing env variables
• postgres initialisation: you're using setup.js, but the Postgres image requires .sql or .sh scripts, see section "How to extend this image" at https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres/
• add dump-init, see https://github.com/Yelp/dumb-init

Build hooks

I've also added build hooks for Docker Hub - if you don't want to publish the image there these could be removed again. For documentation see

• https://docs.docker.com/docker-cloud/builds/advanced/#override-build-test-or-push-commands
• https://github.com/rossf7/label-schema-automated-build
• https://gist.github.com/DarrenN/8c6a5b969481725a4413

Next steps

Further things that could be done:

• a container running the cleaning up cron job (and potentially other cron jobs)
