Docker-Extension-js

A Docker extension for a JavaScript project

1. First, create a Dockerfile in the root of your project. This file will be used to define the steps to build a Docker image of your application. 2.In the Dockerfile, specify the base image that your application will run on. For example, you can use the official Node.js image:

FROM node:14

3.Set the working directory in the container to the location of your application code:

WORKDIR /app

4.Copy the package.json and package-lock.json files from the host machine to the container:

COPY package*.json ./

5.Install the dependencies:

RUN npm install

6.Copy the rest of the application code to the container:

COPY . .

7.Expose a port to allow external traffic to access the application:

EXPOSE 3000

8.Define the command to start the application:

CMD ["npm", "start"]

9.Build the Docker image by running the following command in the root of your project:

docker build -t my-app .

10.Run the image with the following command:

docker run -p 3000:3000 my-app

This is a basic example of how to use Docker to containerize a JavaScript application. You can further customize the Dockerfile to include additional steps, such as copying environment files, or running a specific command before starting the application.

For a simple static HTML, CSS, JS Website the dockerfile will be

``` # Use an existing base image FROM nginx:alpine

Copy static website files to the container

COPY . /usr/share/nginx/html

Expose port 80 for the NGINX web server

EXPOSE 80

Start the NGINX web server when the container is started

CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

To build the Docker image, you can run the following command in the directory where the Dockerfile is located:

docker build -t my-static-website .

To run the Docker container, you can run the following command:

docker run -p 80:80 my-static-website
