Docker + Node "hello world" Application
The document provides a guide on how to create a Node.js application and deploy it using Docker. It outlines steps including building the app, creating a Dockerfile, and running the Docker image. Additionally, it highlights the use of Alpine Linux for a lightweight environment.
Docker + Node "hello world" Application
- 2. “The goal ofthis example is to show you how to get a Node.js application into a Docker container”
- 3. What is Docker? "Dockeris an open platform for building, shipping and running distributed applications. It gives programmers, development teams and operations engineers the common toolbox they need to take advantage of the distributed and networked nature of modern applications."
- 4. Step 1: Createthe Hello World Node.js app •package.json •server.js
- 5. package.json { "name": "hellodockerworld", "version": "0.0.0", "private":true, "scripts": { "start": "node server" }, "dependencies": { "express": "~4.14.0" } }
- 6. Step 2: Server.js constexpress = require('express'); // Constants const PORT = 8080; // App const app = express(); app.get('/', function (req, res) { res.send('Hello worldn'); }); app.listen(PORT); console.log('Running on http://localhost:' + PORT);
- 7. step 3: .DockerFile “Dockercan build images automatically by reading the instructions from a Dockerfile. A Dockerfile is a text document that contains all the commands a user could call on the command line to assemble an image”
- 8.

- 9. step 4: Buildand Run Docker Image Docker build -t hellodocker . docker run -p 8080:3000 hellodocker Now check this in browser http://127.0.0.1:8080 Go to the directory that has your Dockerfile and run the following command to build the Docker image.
