# Dockerfile for Nodejs Webapp

Almost a complete Dockerfile required to make your Nodejs web app run inside a Docker container.

The Dockerfile:

```dockerfile

# we will use the latest version of node available from the Docker Hub.

FROM node:latest

# Create app directory, where your app will live its lifetime.

WORKDIR /usr/src/app

# Install app dependencies

# A wildcard is used to ensure both package.json AND package-lock.json are copied

COPY package*.json ./

# Installing the packages while the image is building

RUN npm install

# Bundle app source, i.e. copying all your required files for the app

# Note: files & folders inside .dockerignore will not be copied.

COPY . .

# The app binds to port 3000, so exposing port 3000 to be used by the docker network

EXPOSE 3000

# Runtime command to be executed when the container is launched

CMD ["node", "app.js"]

```

### Running the demo nodejs app on your machine

Step 1: Clone to repo

```

git clone https://github.com/trulymittal/nodejs_dockerfile.git

```

Step 2: cd into the repo

```

cd nodejs_dockerfile

```

Step 3: Build the docker image

```

docker build -t IMAGE_NAME .

```

Step 4: Run the docker container from the image

```

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 IMAGE_NAME

```

Thats all you need to do, to run this basic example.
