Thanks!!
Thanks very much. Based on this I created a build command, using current node container (alpine, because it is smaller) and chaining two npm commands together:
docker run -v "$PWD":/usr/src/app -w /usr/src/app node:alpine sh -c 'npm install && npm run dist'
With the latest LTS version:
sudo docker run -v $(pwd):/usr/src/app -w /usr/src/app node:8.9.4 npm install
for docker in windows
docker run -v c:\path_to_app:/usr/src/app -w /usr/src/app node:8.9.4 bash -c "npm install"
For Windows (CMD)
docker run --rm -v "%cd%":/app -w /app node:alpine npm i
On MacOS/Linux with NodeJS 10 LTS:
docker run --user $(id -u):$(id -g) -v $PWD:/app -v $PWD/.npm:/.npm -v $PWD/.config:/.config -w /app node:10.12.0-alpine npm install
Nice work
Why not create a file named 'npm' in '/usr/local/bin' with:
#!/bin/bash
docker run --rm -i --user=$UID:1000 --name=npm-executable -w /usr/app -v $PWD:/usr/app node:10 npm "$@"
then
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/npm
now you can use npm install, npm run anything, etc.
Hello, I'm new to Docker and lost in your instructions...
What are we supposed to put instead of the c:\path_to_app and the /usr/src/app expressions ?
Thanks for the help !
@clrmahieu you only have to replace the c:\path_to_app with the full path for your app root folder, usually it's your current path where you have your package.json file.
On MacOS/Linux with NodeJS 10 LTS:
docker run --user $(id -u):$(id -g) -v $PWD:/app -v $PWD/.npm:/.npm -v $PWD/.config:/.config -w /app node:10.12.0-alpine npm install
This creates 2 folders .npm and .config within the current project's directory. I would avoid this since you can easily include them in the next commits by mistake.
A better alternative is to mount these folders from your user's home directory:
docker run --user $(id -u):$(id -g) -v $PWD:/app -v $HOME/.npm:/.npm -v $HOME/.config:/.config -w /app node:10.12.0-alpine npm install
Hi there!
There a way to store in VSCode the command line syntaxe to run npm run build from docker container?
Nice one!
