Introduction

This is an Alpine based container image running Nginx reversing proxy with Node v9.x (Yarn Support)

Versioning

Docker Tag	GitHub Release	Nginx Version	Node Version	Alpine Version
latest	master	1.12.2	9.8.0	3.7
latest-lts	master-lts	1.12.2	8.10.0 LTS	3.7

Building from source

To build from source you need to clone the git repo and run docker build:

$ git clone https://github.com/Finiz/nginx-node-docker.git

followed by

$ docker build -t nginx-node:latest .

Pulling from Docker Hub

$ docker pull finizco/nginx-node:latest

Running

To run the container:

$ docker run -p 8080:8080 -e "NODE_PORT=3000" -d finizco/nginx-node:latest

Default Node root:

/app

Installing Node App

To install a Node app in the root, simply map the app volumes to running nginx-node container:

$ docker run -p 8080:8080 -e "NODE_PORT=3000" -v /app:/app -d finizco/nginx-node:latest

The Node app should has a serve script in its package.json

"scripts": {
  ...,
  "serve": "node dist/index.js"
}

Running Node App on Production (PM2 is recommended)

To run the app on clustering mode with PM2 (Node.JS Process Manager) for production, add "--no-daemon" after the PM2 serve script

For Example:

"scripts": {
  ...,
  "serve": "pm2 start dist/index.js -i max --name app --no-daemon"
}

Environment Variables

NODE_PORT - A port that the Node app is listening on (default is 3000).

NODE_MODE - A mode of the running Node app (Specify prod for production, dev for development, default is prod).
