Node.js Web App
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
.. include:: example_header.inc
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Create Node.js app
|
||||
++++++++++++++++++
|
||||
|
||||
First, create a ``package.json`` file that describes your app and its
|
||||
dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: json
|
||||
|
||||
{
|
||||
"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:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: javascript
|
||||
|
||||
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``:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
touch Dockerfile
|
||||
|
||||
Open the ``Dockerfile`` in your favorite text editor and add the following line
|
||||
that defines the version of docker the image requires to build
|
||||
(this example uses docker 0.3.4):
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
# DOCKER-VERSION 0.3.4
|
||||
|
||||
Next, define the parent image you want to use to build your own image on top of.
|
||||
Here, we’ll use `CentOS <https://index.docker.io/_/centos/>`_ (tag: ``6.4``)
|
||||
available on the `docker index`_:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
FROM centos:6.4
|
||||
|
||||
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 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`_:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
# Enable EPEL for Node.js
|
||||
RUN rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
|
||||
# Install Node.js and npm
|
||||
RUN yum install -y npm-1.2.17-5.el6
|
||||
|
||||
To bundle your app’s source code inside the docker image, use the ``ADD``
|
||||
command:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
# Bundle app source
|
||||
ADD . /src
|
||||
|
||||
Your app binds to port ``8080`` so you’ll use the ``EXPOSE`` command to have it
|
||||
mapped by the docker daemon:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
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):
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
CMD ["node", "/src/index.js"]
|
||||
|
||||
Your ``Dockerfile`` should now look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# DOCKER-VERSION 0.3.4
|
||||
FROM centos:6.4
|
||||
|
||||
# Enable EPEL for Node.js
|
||||
RUN rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
|
||||
# Install Node.js and npm
|
||||
RUN yum install -y npm-1.2.17-5.el6
|
||||
|
||||
# Bundle app source
|
||||
ADD . /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 let’s you tag your image so it’s easier
|
||||
to find later using the ``docker images`` command:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
docker build -t <your username>/centos-node-hello .
|
||||
|
||||
Your image will now be listed by docker:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
docker images
|
||||
|
||||
> # Example
|
||||
> REPOSITORY TAG ID CREATED
|
||||
> centos 6.4 539c0211cd76 8 weeks ago
|
||||
> gasi/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. Run the image you previously built:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
docker run -d <your username>/centos-node-hello
|
||||
|
||||
Print the output of your app:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
# 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 the port of your app that docker mapped:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
docker ps
|
||||
|
||||
> # Example
|
||||
> ID IMAGE COMMAND ... PORTS
|
||||
> ecce33b30ebf gasi/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``):
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
curl -i localhost:49160
|
||||
|
||||
> HTTP/1.1 200 OK

||||
