6.5 Docker

Docker is the worlds leading containerization platform. It automates the tasks of setting up and configuring development and production environments. You can learn more about Docker at docker.com.

This example assumes you are using a the following database configuration

config/stores.ts

export const stores = {
  mongo: {
    adapter: require('sails-mongo'),
    host: process.env.MONGO_HOST ? process.env.MONGO_HOST : 'localhost',
    port: process.env.MONGO_PORT ? process.env.MONGO_PORT : 27017,
    database: process.env.MONGO_DATABASE ? process.env.MONGO_DATABASE : 'fabrix'
  }
}
export const models = {
  defaultStore: 'mongo',
  migrate: 'safe'
}

1. Create a docker file in the root of your project

Dockerfile

#############################################
# Dockerfile to run fabrix-app/fabrix:latest
# Based on Alpine
#############################################

FROM node:7.8-alpine

MAINTAINER Jam Risser (jamrizzi)

ENV MONGO_HOST=db
ENV MONGO_PORT=27017
ENV MONGO_DATABASE=fabrix
ENV NODE_ENV=production

EXPOSE 3000

WORKDIR /app/

RUN apk add --no-cache \
        tini && \
    apk add --no-cache --virtual build-deps \
        git

COPY ./package.json /app/
RUN npm install
COPY ./ /app/
RUN apk del build-deps && \
    npm prune --production

ENTRYPOINT ["/sbin/tini", "--", "node", "/app/server.js"]

2. Add the following scripts to your `package.json`

package.json

{
 "scripts": {
    "build": "docker build -t fabrix-app/fabrix:latest -f ./Dockerfile .",
    "push": "docker push fabrix-app/fabrix:latest",
    "run": "docker run --name some-fabrix --rm --link some-mongo:db -p 3000:3000 fabrix-app/fabrix:latest"
  }
}

3. Build your container

npm run build

4. Push your container
