Habitat Sample Node App

Welcome to the Habitat Sample Node App!

Instructions

To practice packaging/running this app with Habitat

Workstation Prereqs:

• Install and set up Habitat (Instructions here)
• Install Docker (Instructions here)
• Clone this repository

$  git clone https://github.com/habitat-sh/sample-node-app.git

• Change directories

$ cd sample-node-app

Building the Package:

You'll see a directory called habitat. Open the habitat/plan.sh file:

Your habitat/plan.sh should look like this:

pkg_name=sample-node-app
pkg_origin=your_origin
pkg_scaffolding="core/scaffolding-node"

Let's add in a version number

pkg_name=sample-node-app
pkg_origin=your_origin
pkg_scaffolding="core/scaffolding-node"
pkg_version="1.0.1"

Now save and close the file.

Enter the Habitat Studio

$ hab studio enter

And run build

(studio) $ build

Running the Package with Docker

Still in your studio, right after the build, export that package to a docker image

(studio) $ hab pkg export docker ./results/<habitat artifact>.hart

Then exit out of the studio:

(studio) $ exit

Now start a Docker container from that image.

$ docker run -it -p 8000:8000 your_origin/sample-node-app

Now head to http://localhost:8000 and see your running app!
