Test run npm based projects with Docker Toolbox for Windows (solution for symlinks issues)

docker-compose.yml

# This is partial container metadata for creating new container to store node_modules/.bin to handle symlink for Windows
# Choose one and use `docker-compose exec scripts [npm install|yarn|yarn start|etc] instead of build & run from scripts.sh below

# OPTION 1 - My project
  scripts:
    image: aimakun/nodejs-bower-grunt # for example
    tty: true
    volumes:
      - .:/data
      - /data/node_modules/.bin/

# OPTION 2 - Alternatives
  scripts:
    image: kkarczmarczyk/node-yarn:latest
    tty: true
    volumes:
      - .:/workspace
      - /workspace/node_modules/.bin/
    ports: # Optional, set port if your app needs
      - 3000:3000

Dockerfile

RUN yarn

EXPOSE 3000

scripts.sh

#!/bin/sh

# maybe just exclude /workspace/node_modules/.bin instead of root directory
eval "docker build -t node-yarn . && docker run -it --rm --name=yarn -p 3000:3000 -v $(PWD):/workspace -v /workspace/node_modules node-yarn $@"
