nodejs-nginx-mariadb-stack

Install

1. Install Docker.
2. Run the commands

   cd ubuntu
   docker-compose build
   

Setup

In your project, create a docker-compose.yml file like this:

version: '3'
services:
  my_fancy_service:
    image: nodejs-nginx-mariadb-stack
    container_name: my_fancy_container
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "3306:3306"
      - "9229:9229"
    volumes:
      - ".:/server/lib"
      - "~/Docker-data/creative_word_clouds/mysql:/var/lib/mysql"

(Port 80 is used by the NodeJS server, port 3306 by MariaDB and port 9229 for debugging in VSCode.)

You can then create a container based on this image by running docker-compose up inside your project.

The container will not automatically install the node modules found in your project's package.json. If you haven't already done so from the host machine, you can:

1. Start the container.
2. Attach to it from VSCode by right-clicking the container in the sidebar and selecting "Attach Shell".
3. Run the command

   npm install
   

Please note: some packages require that they are installed from the target machine directly because they are also compiled automatically, so we recommend following the steps above instead of simply running npm install from the host machine.
