# Node.js Docker images

This image contains Node.js, yarn and a postgresql client and basic build

tools. For yarn we use the 1.0 version distributed from their apt repository.

Currently these tags are available:

* Node.js 18: `18`

* Node.js 20: `20`, `lts`

* Node.js 22: `22`, `latest`

All versions contain node.js at the specified version, npm and yarn. They also

include the postgresql client applications (e.g. psql and others) and include

basic build tools allowing you to build C/C++ node.js extensions as well.

## Extended images

You can also use the extended images (with the postfix `-extended`). These

variants include dependencies for running browsers such as for usage with

puppeteer.

## Full images

A larger variant still is also available (with the postfix `-full`). These

images include preinstalled firefox and chromium browsers, making them suitable

for end-to-end testing.

## Usage

For basic usage instructions, also see our [debian image] detailed usage

instructions. Basic usage when using docker compose is shown below:

```yaml

services:

    # ...

    app:

        image: ghcr.io/tweedegolf/node:lts

        user: "$USER_ID:$GROUP_ID"

        command: [npm, run, server]

        volumes: [".:/app"]

        working_dir: /app

    # ...

```

## Extending for production

When running this image in a production setting, you should set up a few things:

* Create a user that your application will run under

* Make sure that user will be the default user

* Set the `ROOT_SWITCH_USER` environment variable to your user as well to

  prevent the application accidentally running as root

* Copy the full appllication and its dependencies into the image

* Set a command that will run the application

See for example the Dockerfile below:

```Dockerfile

FROM ghcr.io/tweedegolf/node:lts

RUN useradd -C Application -m -U app

ENV ROOT_SWITCH_USER app

ENV NODE_ENV production

COPY --chown=app:app ./build /opt/application

WORKDIR /opt/application

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

USER app

```
