This is an onbuild container for Node.JS Projects.

This docker container is an ONBUILD. Simply extend the Dockerfile in your application with this Dockerfile and your project will be copied into the /app directory and have npm install run on it. You must ensure that your downstream images sets USER nodejs and additionally in rare cases any required permission beyond read. You must also ensure that your application will listen on port 8080.

Please note, storing state on this container is not recommended, and logs should be written to stdout, thus adding further permissions isn't something we'd normally envision.

• start, test or run will run npm COMMAND

The following command will run npm start on the code within the container

So if your Dockerfile looks like this

FROM quay.io/ukhomeofficedigital/nodejs:v3.0.0

USER nodejs
CMD ["start"]

The following will run npm start:

docker run your-docker-container:latest

You can also run arbitrary commands such as:

docker run your-docker-container:latest /opt/nodejs/bin/npm run 

However, we'd prefered there was a standard way to start your app and thus, have settled on npm start being the canonical way to run your app.

• /app - Where you app will be copied to on build
