Node.js Web App
===============
.. include:: example_header.inc
The goal of this example is to show you how you can build your own docker images
from a parent image using a ``Dockerfile`` . We will do that by making a simple
Node.js hello world web application running on CentOS.
Create Node.js app
++++++++++++++++++
First, create a ``package.json`` file that describes your app and its
dependencies:
.. code-block:: json
{
"name": "docker-centos-hello",
"private": true,
"version": "0.0.1",
"description": "Node.js Hello World app on CentOS using docker",
"author": "Daniel Gasienica <daniel@gasienica.ch>",
"dependencies": {
"express": "3.2.4"
}
}
Then, create an ``index.js`` file that defines a web app using the
`Express.js <http://expressjs.com/>`_ framework:
.. code-block:: javascript
var express = require('express');
// Constants
var PORT = 8080;
// App
var app = express();
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.send('Hello World\n');
});
app.listen(PORT)
console.log('Running on http://localhost:' + PORT);
In the next steps, well look at how you can run this app inside a CentOS
container using docker. First, youll need to build a docker image of your app.
Creating a ``Dockerfile``
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Create an empty file called ``Dockerfile``:
.. code-block:: bash
touch Dockerfile
Open the ``Dockerfile`` in your favorite text editor and add the following line
that defines the version of docker the image requires to build
(this example uses docker 0.3.4):
.. code-block:: bash
# DOCKER-VERSION 0.3.4
Next, define the parent image you want to use to build your own image on top of.
Here, well use `CentOS <https://index.docker.io/_/centos/>`_ (tag: ``6.4``)
available on the `docker index`_:
.. code-block:: bash
FROM centos:6.4
Since were building a Node.js app, youll have to install Node.js as well as
npm on your CentOS image. Node.js is required to run your app and npm to install
your apps dependencies defined in ``package.json``.
To install the right package for CentOS, well use the instructions from the
`Node.js wiki`_:
.. code-block:: bash
# Enable EPEL for Node.js
RUN rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
# Install Node.js and npm
RUN yum install -y npm-1.2.17-5.el6
To bundle your apps source code inside the docker image, use the ``ADD``
command:
.. code-block:: bash
# Bundle app source
ADD . /src
Your app binds to port ``8080`` so youll use the ``EXPOSE`` command to have it
mapped by the docker daemon:
.. code-block:: bash
EXPOSE 8080
Last but not least, define the command to run your app using ``CMD`` which
defines your runtime, i.e. ``node``, and the path to our app, i.e.
``src/index.js`` (see the step where we added the source to the container):
.. code-block:: bash
CMD ["node", "/src/index.js"]
Your ``Dockerfile`` should now look like this:
.. code-block:: bash
# DOCKER-VERSION 0.3.4
FROM centos:6.4
# Enable EPEL for Node.js
RUN rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
# Install Node.js and npm
RUN yum install -y npm-1.2.17-5.el6
# Bundle app source
ADD . /src
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["node", "/src/index.js"]
Building your image
+++++++++++++++++++
Go to the directory that has your ``Dockerfile`` and run the following command
to build a docker image. The ``-t`` flag lets you tag your image so its easier
to find later using the ``docker images`` command:
.. code-block:: bash
docker build -t <your username>/centos-node-hello .
Your image will now be listed by docker:
.. code-block:: bash
docker images
> # Example
> REPOSITORY TAG ID CREATED
> centos 6.4 539c0211cd76 8 weeks ago
> gasi/centos-node-hello latest d64d3505b0d2 2 hours ago
Run the image
+++++++++++++
Running your image with ``-d`` runs the container in detached mode, leaving the
container running in the background. Run the image you previously built:
.. code-block:: bash
docker run -d <your username>/centos-node-hello
Print the output of your app:
.. code-block:: bash
# Get container ID
docker ps
# Print app output
docker logs <container id>
> # Example
> Running on http://localhost:8080
Test
++++
To test your app, get the the port of your app that docker mapped:
.. code-block:: bash
docker ps
> # Example
> ID IMAGE COMMAND ... PORTS
> ecce33b30ebf gasi/centos-node-hello:latest node /src/index.js 49160->8080
In the example above, docker mapped the ``8080`` port of the container to
``49160``.
Now you can call your app using ``curl`` (install if needed via:
``sudo apt-get install curl``):
.. code-block:: bash
curl -i localhost:49160
> HTTP/1.1 200 OK
> X-Powered-By: Express
> Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
> Content-Length: 12

> Connection: keep-alive
>
> Hello World
We hope this tutorial helped you get up and running with Node.js and CentOS on
