Node JS web app using docker

Docker Handbook

Docker is an open platform for developers and sysadmins to build, ship, and run distributed applications, whether on laptops, data center VMs, or the cloud.

Docker is now moby project for advanced containerzation movement

https://blog.docker.com/2017/04/introducing-the-moby-project/

Installation

• Install docket toolbox with kinematic https://www.docker.com/products/docker-toolbox
• after installation in some machines virtualization need to enabled follow below link https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/canitpro/2015/09/08/step-by-step-enabling-hyper-v-for-use-on-windows-10/
• Now start docker console

Basic docker commands

• docker run
• docker start <name|id>
• docker stop <name|id>
• docker ps [-a include stopped containers] - to list all docker containers
• docker rm <name|id>
• docker build -t /<app_name> .
• docker-machine ssh default -- Used to SSH docker
• docker-machine env default -- get environment commands for your new VM
• docker-machine regenerate-certs default

Docker making TLS false

-https://coderwall.com/p/siqnjg/disable-tls-on-boot2docker -Create docker machine with TLS false docker-machine create -d virtualbox --engine-opt tlsverify=false node1

Installation

- Download docker toolbox
  https://www.docker.com/products/docker-toolbox
- Create username in docker.com
- To dock node js app https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/nodejs-docker-webapp/

Terminal

Launching Containers

• To search images

docker search --filter=stars=3 hello

Find IP address of docker linux daemon

docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' f5f5384dd63b

Build container image

• To build a docker image first we need to create a file "Docker"

This file consist of four major commands

FROM <image-name>:<tag>
RUN <command> 
COPY <src> <dest> 
EXPOSE <port> 
CMD -a arga value -b argb-value

Below docker file is used to run static html files in ngnix server

Ngnix Server

FROM nginx:1.11-alpine
COPY index.html /usr/share/nginx/html/index.html
EXPOSE 80
CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

Node Server

FROM node:boron
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY package.json /usr/src/app/
RUN npm install
COPY . /usr/src/app
EXPOSE 8080
CMD [ "npm", "start" ]

   # Build and running image into container

• After creation of docker file run command to take a build of image

  docker build -t <any-name> .
  

• To verify run below command this will list image with given name

  docker images
  
  REPOSITORY                    TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
  my-nodejs-app                 latest              50bdaca3105f        11 hours ago        667 MB
  node                          boron               e0fb852254e6        5 days ago          659 MB
  jenkins                       latest              ee06af673de2        2 weeks ago         713 MB
  kitematic/hello-world-nginx   latest              03b4557ad7b9        20 months ago       7.91 MB
  
  

• Below command launch the built image is

  docker run -d --name my-running-app -p 3000:3000 my-nodejs-app  
  sudo docker run -d  --name hostapp -p 8082:4000 hostapp
  docker run --name prometheus -d -p 127.0.0.1:9090:9090 name
  

  This binds port 4000 of the container to port 8082 on 127.0.0.1(ip) of the host machine. The Docker User Guide explains in detail how to manipulate ports in Docker.

• After running above command go to tcp url with port 3000

  192.168.99.100:32768
  
  or
  
  curl 192.168.99.100:32768
  

• To verify build is present in container

  $ docker ps
  
  CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                  COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                     NAMES
  df289bf2768a        my-nodejs-app:latest   "npm start"         2 minutes ago       Up 2 minutes        0.0.0.0:32768->7899/tcp   my-nodejs-app-2
  

Containers are Always Running with Docker’s Restart Policy

• Automatically restart crashed containers by specifying a restart policy

Even though our application crashes continues to exit with an error, Docker is continuously restarting the container every time it exits.

$ sudo docker run -d —name hello-app —restart always hello-app 

Troubleshooting

Docker daemon port (usually :2376), may not work properly.

• To resolve this do following steps , Goto Virtualbox > Preferences -> Network -> Host-only Network and remove all adapters listed.

• Remove existing docker machine

  $ docker-machine rm default

• Create new virtual machine

   docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default
  

• Create new virtual machine

   docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default
  

• Set machine as

   eval "$(docker-machine env default)"
  

  Windows Docker daemon not started after machine restart

  • docker-machine regenerate-certs default

    • docker-machine restart default
    • eval $(docker-machine env default)
    • docker-machine ls

  • docker daemon configuration https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/#troubleshoot-the-daemon
