To deploy an app with docker using app-server, you can either install
app-server from npm inside your own docker image, or you can start your
image from staticdeploy/app-server, a (relatively) lightweight image with
app-server pre-installed.
FROM node
# Build your app. For example you could do something like:
# COPY . .
# RUN npm install
# RUN npm run build
# Install app-server
RUN npm install --global @staticdeploy/app-server
# Set app-server as the image start command, starting with the necessary flags.
# For example if the build step produces a dist/ directory that you wish
# app-server to serve, you would do:
# CMD ["app-server", "--root=dist/"]
CMD ["app-server"]# First docker stage: build the app
FROM node
# Build your app. For example you could do something like:
# COPY . .
# RUN npm install
# RUN npm run build
# Second docker stage: copy artifacts into the staticdeploy/app-server image
FROM staticdeploy/app-server:vX.Y.Z
# Copy artifacts from the previous stage (assuming they were produced in the
# /dist directory) into the /build directory of the image, the default directory
# served by app-server
COPY --from=0 /dist /build
