Overview

This is a very simple, bare-bones NodeJS project created for you to use with Docker.

Local Setup

Note: This is only needed if you want to run the app locally. You don't need to install the dependencies or run the server if you are running the code inside a Docker container.

• Install dependencies: npm install
• Run server: node server.js

Container Setup

• Build image: docker build .
• Run container with image: docker run {image_id} where image_id can be retrieved by running docker images and found under the column IMAGE ID
• You can use the -d flag to run the container in the background. This will enable you to run other commands in your terminal while the container is running.

Container Teardown

• Remove container: docker kill {container_id} where container_id can be retrieved by running docker ps and found under the column CONTAINER ID
