Docker for Javascript Developers

Node.js

I also suggest having Node.js installed as well. Technically you can get away without it, but in the first couple of steps we're going to run the app locally before we get Docker involved. It will also help demonstrate how Docker fixes our versioning issue.

Docker Hub

Hello from Docker! This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly. To generate this message, Docker took the following steps: 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon. 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub. (amd64) 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the executable that produces the output you are currently reading. 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it to your terminal. To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with: $ docker run -it ubuntu bash Share images, automate workflows, and more with a free Docker ID: https://hub.docker.com/ For more examples and ideas, visit: https://docs.docker.com/get-started/.

Alpine Linux

The default Node image runs on Debian, however one of the most popular versions runs on something called Alpine Linux.
