A base docker image for meteor apps

Primary LanguageShell

Base Docker Image for DVP UI Meteor App

Build

Add the following to a Dockerfile in the root of your app:

FROM gcr.io/nioinstances/meteor-base:latest

Then you can build the image with:

docker build -t yourname/app .

Setting up a .dockerignore file

There are several parts of a Meteor development environment that you don't need to pass into a Docker build because a complete production build happens inside the container. For example, you don't need to pass in your node_modules or the local build files and development database that live in .meteor/local. To avoid copying all of these into the container, here's a recommended starting point for a .dockerignore file to be put into the root of your app. Read more: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#dockerignore-file

.git
.meteor/local
node_modules

Run

Now you can run your container with the following command... (note that the app listens on port 3000 because it is run by a non-root user for security reasons and non-root users can't run processes on port 80)

docker run -d \
  -e ROOT_URL=http://example.com \
  -e MONGO_URL=mongodb://url \
  -e MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://oplog_url \
  -e MAIL_URL=smtp://mail_url.com \
  -p 80:3000 \
  yourname/app
