Docker-izing a NodeJS ExpressJS API - Tutorial

Excellent! I was struggling with the setup since last few days. Just got it working after watching your videos. Super helpful. You just got a new subscriber from Germany :) Keep up your good work <3

Straight forwards, thanks!

Impressive typing speed 🔥

Amazing, very simple video! love it

NICE!!!!!!

Thanks for this video !!!

Thanks for this video !!!

Good job

The -v does not work for me. I get a 'invalid reference format' when I use the $(pwd):/app command. but when I use /app, it works, but it does not recognise the changes I make.

Tried this in 2022 and it still works fine. Thank you :)

npm run install does not seem to work for me

Beside an amazing tutorial, you have a beautiful accent

this is what im finding of. 😊 Ty

docker run -it -p 9001:8080 -v $(pwd):/app node-docker
it shows error when i execute this command
/app/node_modules/update-notifier/index.js:58
} catch {
^

You're a really good teacher 👏👏

My nodemon don't work... do not have effects in my page...

Take a shot each time he says "application".

You can also run npm init -y

Thak you for video. I m wondering why you install Node_modules in local host? it should be install one time in docker image and all local fils should be source files of your project and each time you modify your code the update will be automaticly happen in Bidrectionale way ?
Thank's for avance.

thank you man

hey man, why am i getting
failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to create LLB definition: dockerfile parse error line 6: unknown instruction: CMD["NPM",

on line 6 after running docker build?

I just go a huge relief after watching your video. I thought that I will do it with myself, but I couldn't it. Only one step, WORKDIR /app. By the way, thanks for your video buddy!

Great tutorial, thanks!

Really great tutorial thank you ❤️

How about docker, for Wordpress dev using NodeJs (running in a container not on local machine) to compile sass, with gulp and browser sync. I’d let you marry my sister if I can clone a project that did all that.

I ran into some issues. I don't want to push the node_modules folder into Source Controll. And if another developer pull the repo from Source Control and just starts developing by building the image via the Dockerfile and then spinning up a container with this images with the same volumes mapped, he will be missing the node_modules folder in the container since it is not available in the working copy of the repo that is beeing mounted over the /app directory. To remedie this, i put all the sources in its own subdirectory of the project and mount only this into the container.

Didn’t work for me.....had to use -L after nodemon.....Thanks anyways.... Short helpful video

Amazing content, very brief and to the point (something that is rare with some content creators!). Yet I have one question, while I get why you would want to that I can't help but feel like the command to run the dev is a little cryptic, there is a standard way to save this configuration so if somebody is just getting on the project knows how to run the container? Thank you for the video.

Excellent, massive Value

Amazing accent! The way you say "file" LOL! Great video.

As far as I know you could install nodemon with --save-dev flag, bro ;)

awesome tutorial

It's bullshit, it's not app. You can deploy that kind of project any where easy. Problems beginning when project become bigger with many dependencies, routes, database

Just curious: (a) why does it work without EXPOSE 3000 in Docekrfile (b) why is nodemon a production dependency and not dev, shouldn't it be installed globally in VM?

Why would you make node even slower?

superb

awesome tutorial, epic accent :D cheers

thanks bro, it works, i could deploy my api with mysql in my ubuntu server

fresh and quick!

what is the font used for code I am looking for this font from a long time

Error response from daemon: Dockerfile parse error line 6: unknown instruction: CMD["NPM",
anyone with this error make sure theirs a space => CMD [ "npm", "start"]
dumb face xD

Thanks a lot!!!

Thank you very much! <3

Ok, but you supposed we had docker installed. I think you should've said it in the beggining.
Thx anyways
