dockerify CLI aims to provide an easy way to configure and distribute NodeJS based applications using Docker. The idea behind this CLI comes from docker-react-app-multi-stage-node-nginx and the need to make the configuration process easier as well as to provide cross-platform support.
Considering this is an executable package you don't really need to install it, instead you can use:
$ npx dockerify-cli <command>NOTES: You need npm v5.2 or greater. This is not working on Windows when using powershell
There are two ways to install dockerify-cli: globally and locally.
$ npm install -g dockerify-clior
$ yarn global add dockerify-cli$ npm install dockerify-cli --saveor
$ yarn add dockerify-cliUsing npx:
$ npx dockerify-cli initor
Using installed package:
$ dockerify-cli initNOTES: You have to use dockerify-cli.cmd on Windows when using powershell
I'm still looking for a way to avoid using .cmd extension, if you have the solution please send a PR
You will answer many questions when running the init command so dockerify-cli can provide the best fitting configuration for your project. However, considering that this may be opinionated based, dockerify-cli will expose the configuration files in order to you to be able to modify them.
For example:
├── public/
├── node_modules/
+ ├── server/
+ │ ├── nginx.conf
├── src/
+ ├── .dockerignore
├── .gitignore
+ ├── Dockerfile
└── package.jsonPlease note that you can decide whether to use nginx or an express server when answering the init command questions.
