Node JS, Docker and production mode on EC2
This is the next step to use docker on development enviroment.
I will use docker-compose because I need create some images one for develop and debug the app and the other to publish one a server EC2.
The steps are:
- Create and account on amazon.
- Create and EC2 Instance I am using Ubuntu 20 maybe the amazon instances are good.
3. Create a docker compose very importar use the same port to expose and run you app (env viarbales)
My comopose file:
If your app need some enviroment variables from SO (Ubunto) check the eviromente key.
4. Create a docker file with to images, develop and production.
5. Check your packge.json and be sure that whole packgre are there. I am using dotenv and cross-env
6. I crate a start commando to run my app, maybe in the future I will make some scrips more to build and test my app.
7 . To create your image run :
$ docker-compose up <name of service — docker compose file>
that’s all folks.
