Dockerized Simple Node App

---

Run app via docker compose (recommended):

Build image and run container

docker-compose up -d

Stop container and remove it

docker-compose down

Run app directly by docker:

1- Build image

docker build -t simple-node-app .

2- Check if image build successfully. You should see simple-node-app in the list of images.

docker image ls

3- Run container

docker run -p 3000:3000 --name test-instance -d simple-node-app

4- Check if container is running

docker ps

5- Stop container

docker stop test-instance

.dockerignore

Everything that we add to .dockerignore won't copy to the image.

We added **/node_modules because node_modules will be created during building image.
