|

The goal of this example is to show you how you can build your own
|
||||
Docker images from a parent image using a `Dockerfile`
|
||||
. We will do that by making a simple Node.js hello world web
|
||||
application running on CentOS. You can get the full source code at[https://github.com/enokd/docker-node-hello/](https://github.com/enokd/docker-node-hello/).
|
||||
|
||||
## Create Node.js app
|
||||
|
||||
First, create a directory `src` where all the files
|
||||
would live. Then create a `package.json` file that
|
||||
describes your app and its dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "docker-centos-hello",
|
||||
"private": true,
|
||||
"version": "0.0.1",
|
||||
"description": "Node.js Hello world app on CentOS using docker",
|
||||
"author": "Daniel Gasienica <daniel@gasienica.ch>",
|
||||
"dependencies": {
|
||||
"express": "3.2.4"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Then, create an `index.js` file that defines a web
|
||||
app using the [Express.js](http://expressjs.com/) framework:
|
||||
|
||||
var express = require('express');
|
||||
|
||||
// Constants
|
||||
var PORT = 8080;
|
||||
|
||||
// App
|
||||
var app = express();
|
||||
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
|
||||
res.send('Hello world\n');
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
app.listen(PORT);
|
||||
console.log('Running on http://localhost:' + PORT);
|
||||
|
||||
In the next steps, we'll look at how you can run this app inside a
|
||||
CentOS container using Docker. First, you'll need to build a Docker
|
||||
image of your app.
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating a Dockerfile
|
||||
|
||||
Create an empty file called `Dockerfile`:
|
||||
|
||||
touch Dockerfile
|
||||
|
||||
Open the `Dockerfile` in your favorite text editor
|
||||
|
||||
Define the parent image you want to use to build your own image on
|
||||
top of. Here, we'll use
|
||||
[CentOS](https://hub.docker.com/_/centos/) (tag: `centos6`)
|
||||
available on the [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/):
|
||||
|
||||
FROM centos:centos6
|
||||
|
||||
Since we're building a Node.js app, you'll have to install Node.js as
|
||||
well as npm on your CentOS image. Node.js is required to run your app
|
||||
and npm is required to install your app's dependencies defined in
|
||||
`package.json`. To install the right package for
|
||||
CentOS, we'll use the instructions from the [Node.js wiki](
|
||||
https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-
|
||||
via-package-manager#rhelcentosscientific-linux-6):
|
||||
|
||||
# Enable Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) for CentOS
|
||||
RUN yum install -y epel-release
|
||||
# Install Node.js and npm
|
||||
RUN yum install -y nodejs npm
|
||||
|
||||
Install your app dependencies using the `npm` binary:
|
||||
|
||||
# Install app dependencies
|
||||
COPY package.json /src/package.json
|
||||
RUN cd /src; npm install --production
|
||||
|
||||
To bundle your app's source code inside the Docker image, use the `COPY`
|
||||
instruction:
|
||||
|
||||
# Bundle app source
|
||||
COPY . /src
|
||||
|
||||
Your app binds to port `8080` so you'll use the `EXPOSE` instruction to have
|
||||
it mapped by the `docker` daemon:
|
||||
|
||||
EXPOSE 8080
|
||||
|
||||
Last but not least, define the command to run your app using `CMD` which
|
||||
defines your runtime, i.e. `node`, and the path to our app, i.e. `src/index.js`
|
||||
(see the step where we added the source to the container):
|
||||
|
||||
CMD ["node", "/src/index.js"]
|
||||
|
||||
Your `Dockerfile` should now look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
FROM centos:centos6
|
||||
|
||||
# Enable Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) for CentOS
|
||||
RUN yum install -y epel-release
|
||||
# Install Node.js and npm
|
||||
RUN yum install -y nodejs npm
|
||||
|
||||
# Install app dependencies
|
||||
COPY package.json /src/package.json
|
||||
RUN cd /src; npm install --production
|
||||
|
||||
# Bundle app source
|
||||
COPY . /src
|
||||
|
||||
EXPOSE 8080
|
||||
CMD ["node", "/src/index.js"]
|
||||
|
||||
## Building your image
|
||||
|
||||
Go to the directory that has your `Dockerfile` and run the following command
|
||||
to build a Docker image. The `-t` flag lets you tag your image so it's easier
|
||||
to find later using the `docker images` command:
|
||||
|
||||
$ docker build -t <your username>/centos-node-hello .
|
||||
|
||||
Your image will now be listed by Docker:
|
||||
|
||||
$ docker images
|
||||
|
||||
# Example
|
||||
REPOSITORY TAG ID CREATED
|
||||
centos centos6 539c0211cd76 8 weeks ago
|
||||
<your username>/centos-node-hello latest d64d3505b0d2 2 hours ago
|
||||
|
||||
## Run the image
|
||||
|
||||
Running your image with `-d` runs the container in detached mode, leaving the
|
||||
container running in the background. The `-p` flag redirects a public port to
|
||||
a private port in the container. Run the image you previously built:
|
||||
|
||||
$ docker run -p 49160:8080 -d <your username>/centos-node-hello
|
||||
|
||||
Print the output of your app:
|
||||
|
||||
# Get container ID
|
||||
$ docker ps
|
||||
|
||||
# Print app output
|
||||
$ docker logs <container id>
|
||||
|
||||
# Example
|
||||
Running on http://localhost:8080
|
||||
|
||||
## Test
|
||||
|
||||
To test your app, get the port of your app that Docker mapped:
|
||||
|
||||
$ docker ps
|
||||
|
||||
# Example
|
||||
ID IMAGE COMMAND ... PORTS
|
||||
ecce33b30ebf <your username>/centos-node-hello:latest node /src/index.js 49160->8080
|
||||
|
||||
In the example above, Docker mapped the `8080` port of the container to `49160`.
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can call your app using `curl` (install if needed via:
|
||||
`sudo apt-get install curl`):
|
||||
|
||||
$ curl -i localhost:49160
|
||||
|
||||
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Hello world
|
||||
|
||||
If you use Docker Machine on OS X, the port is actually mapped to the Docker
|
||||
host VM, and you should use the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
$ curl $(docker-machine ip VM_NAME):49160
|
||||

|
||||
CentOS on Docker. You can get the full source code at
