The official Node.js docker image, made with love by the node community.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is Node.js?
|
||||
|
||||
Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
|
||||
*from [node.org/faq.html](https://node.org/faq.html)*
|
||||
|
||||
See: [http://nodejs.org](http://nodejs.org)
|
||||
Node.js is a JavaScript platform built on Chrome's V8 runtime. This project
|
||||
began as a fork of Joyent's Node.js™ and is compatible with the npm ecosystem.
|
||||
|
||||
## About this Repo
|
||||
Why? Node.js aims to provide faster and predictable release cycles. It currently
|
||||
merges in the latest language, API and performance improvements to V8 while also
|
||||
updating libuv and other base libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the Git repo of the official Docker image for [node](https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/node/). See the
|
||||
Hub page for the full readme on how to use the Docker image and for information
|
||||
regarding contributing and issues.
|
||||
This project aims to continue development of Node.js under an "open governance
|
||||
model" as opposed to corporate stewardship.
|
||||
|
||||
The full readme is generated over in [docker-library/docs](https://github.com/docker-library/docs),
|
||||
specificially in [docker-library/docs/node](https://github.com/docker-library/docs/tree/master/node).
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** The previous (deprecated) repo can be found at https://github.com/docker-library/node
|
||||
# How to use this image
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to distribute your application on the docker registry, create a
|
||||
`Dockerfile` in the root of application directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```Dockerfile
|
||||
FROM node:onbuild
|
||||
|
||||
# Expose the ports that your app uses. For example:
|
||||
EXPOSE 8080
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then simply run:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ docker build -t node-app
|
||||
...
|
||||
$ docker run --rm -it node-app
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To run a single script, you can mount it in a volume under `/usr/src/app`. From
|
||||
the root of your application directory (assuming your script is named
|
||||
`index.js`):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ docker run -v ${PWD}:/usr/src/app -w /usr/src/app -it --rm node node index.js
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Image Variants
|
||||
|
||||
The `node` images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.
|
||||
|
||||
## `node:<version>`
|
||||
|
||||
This is the defacto image. If you are unsure about what your needs are, you
|
||||
probably want to use this one. It is designed to be used both as a throw away
|
||||
container (mount your source code and start the container to start your app), as
|
||||
well as the base to build other images off of. This tag is based off of
|
||||
[`buildpack-deps`](https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/buildpack-deps/).
|
||||
`buildpack-deps` is designed for the average user of docker who has many images
|
||||
on their system. It, by design, has a large number of extremely common Debian
|
||||
packages. This reduces the number of packages that images that derive from it
|
||||
need to install, thus reducing the overall size of all images on your system.
|
||||
|
||||
## `node:onbuild`
|
||||
|
||||
This image makes building derivative images easier. For most use cases, creating
|
||||
a `Dockerfile` in the base of your project directory with the line `FROM
|
||||
node:onbuild` will be enough to create a stand-alone image for your project.
|
||||
|
||||
## `node:slim`
|
||||
|
||||
This image does not contain the common packages contained in the default tag and
|
||||
only contains the minimal packages needed to run `node`. Unless you are working
|
||||
in an environment where *only* the Node.js image will be deployed and you have
|
||||
space constraints, we highly recommend using the default image of this
|
||||
repository.
