A minimal setup for a NodeJS dev/production container

Docker NodeJS Build/Dev environment

To build the container

docker build -t mynode

To run the container

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 mynode

TODO

Try running it with the NODE_ENV set to developer

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -e NODE_ENV='developer' -v /my/code:/usr/src/app mynode

Nodemon does not trigger a change when file in the mount directory is changed.
