Simple docker expressjs

Docker with NodeJS + expres

Simple rest api with NodeJS and Express. I used typescript for unknown reason but you can do it in regular JS.

How to get started

Have docker installed on your system.

Then simple run: docker build -t docker-expressjs . (docker-expressjs) is just an example, you can use anything. docker build -t potato .. But keep in mind to have meaningful docker names, so it makes sense once name is given.

After docker is built, we can run: docker run -d 8080:8080 docker-express We are running docker run -d ... the -d --detach , -d Run container in background and print container ID

we just running that container in the background process with the container port of 8080 and opening it to 8080 with the given container name: docker-express in this example, again it can be anything.

After this, you're done! your first simple Docker contrainer that is powered with NodeJS+Express.

More work to be done...
