My Node.js Server with Docker

Youtube Video Link: https://youtu.be/7FGj4EwOX2E

This project sets up a basic Node.js server that serves an HTML file. The server is then containerized using Docker.

• index.html: The HTML file to be served.
• server.js: The Node.js server code.
• Dockerfile: Instructions to build the Docker image.
• .dockerignore: Specifies which files and directories to ignore when building the Docker image.
• package.json: Contains the project metadata and dependencies.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (if you need to test the server locally without Docker)
• Docker

Setup and Run

Running the Server Locally

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/my-node-server.git
   cd my-node-server

2. Install dependencies (if any):

   npm install

3. Start the server:

   npm start

4. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000.

Running the Server with Docker

1. Clone the repository (if you haven't already):

   https://github.com/codewithmuh/dockerize-nodejs.git
   cd my-node-server

Using node:20 docker image

1. Build the Docker image:

   docker build -t my-node-server .

2. Run the Docker container:

   docker run -it --rm -p 3000:3000 my-node-server

3. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000.

Using chainguard cgr.dev/chainguard/node:latest docker image

1. Build the Docker image:

   docker build -f  Dockerfile-distroless -t my-node-cg .

2. Run the Docker container:

   docker run -it --rm -p 3000:3000 my-node-cg

3. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000.
