hello-docker-react

Your React.js environment in just one command using create-react-app, docker and yarn.

Docker && docker-compose installation instructions:

Install docker in your host machine:

Follow Docker installation guide: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation

Install docker-compose in your host machine (only for linux users as docker-compose come preinstalled in Docker for Windows, Docker for Mac and Docker toolbox).

Follow Docker-compose installation guide: https://github.com/docker/compose/releases

Extra recommended optional step for allowing linux non-root users to run docker commands:

$ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Build and start your React environment with single command:

Just run:

$ docker-compose up

And wait until you see the following in the console:

hello-docker-react    | Starting the development server...
hello-docker-react    | 
hello-docker-react    | Compiled successfully!
hello-docker-react    | 
hello-docker-react    | The app is running at:
hello-docker-react    | 
hello-docker-react    |   http://localhost:3000/
hello-docker-react    | 
hello-docker-react    | Note that the development build is not optimized.
hello-docker-react    | To create a production build, use yarn run build.

To gracefully stop undetached run just press CTRL+C

Test your React Installation:

Check your code at src/
Open http://localhost:3000
Dance!

Extra Bonus! Docker-compose basic handling:

Run in detached mode:

$ docker-compose up -d

In detached mode, you won't have direct output from the container, so you'll have to check the container logs to see if the build ended (find the above "Compiled successfully" message):

$ docker-compose logs

Stop a detached mode run:

$ docker-compose down

Run commands into your container without going into, from your host machine:

$ docker-compose exec hello-docker-react mycommand

Enter into your container to run commands inside it (ssh-like):

$ docker-compose exec hello-docker-react bash

Exit your container, and go back to your host machine:

$ exit

For advanced usage, follow the docker-compose command-line reference:

https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/
