Ember Minimal is a base image for Ember.js apps that automatically compiles the project at build-time. It is most useful in multi-stage builds where the output is copied into an nginx image (or similar).
# Recommended Dockerfile format for projects that use this image
# Build the ember app using ONBUILD triggers:
FROM johnstarich/ember-minimal:2.0 as builder
# Begin an nginx image and copy the compiled output from the previous layer
FROM nginx
COPY --from=builder /html /usr/html
# Copy the provided nginx configuration files, for your convenience
COPY --from=builder /nginx /etc/nginx/conf.dThe primary goal is simplicity. Here is a 3-step quickstart guide:
- Place the above Dockerfile snippet into your project.
- Run
docker build, optionally with a build arg for the environment:--build-arg ENVIRONMENT=production. - Start the fully-operational nginx server from the image you just built (e.g.
docker run).
The primary way to change how your Ember app should be built is by changing the environment (i.e. --build-arg ENVIRONMENT=???). This defaults to production for simplicity's sake, but you can choose whichever environment you like. I use this to build my Ember apps with different API endpoints, all of which are set up inside the app's config/environment.js.
I've provided a working nginx config in /nginx that can be used as described in the quickstart guide. To configure nginx beyond the provided defaults, you can place additional configuration files into /etc/nginx/conf.d/.
If you prefer to use a single FROM statement that builds and runs the app, follow the old quickstart guide from version 1.2.
