ContainerCraft is my advanced implementation showcasing the art of containerizing Node.js applications using Docker. This project demonstrates my expertise in creating efficient, secure, and production-ready containerized applications. Through this hands-on development, I've mastered crucial DevOps practices and modern containerization techniques that ensure seamless deployment across any environment.
- Master production-grade containerization techniques for Node.js applications
- Implement advanced Docker optimization strategies including layer caching and multi-stage builds
- Establish robust security protocols through proper container configuration
- Design efficient networking and port mapping solutions
- Create scalable and maintainable container management workflows
The project implements a containerized Node.js HTTP server using Docker, where the application runs inside a container built on the lightweight node:14-alpine base image. The container exposes port 8080 internally which is mapped to port 80 on the host system, while the Docker image layers efficiently organize the base image, application code (app.js), and required Node.js dependencies for consistent deployment across any environment.
ContainerCraft: Docker Container Architecture and Workflow
| Category | Technology |
|---|---|
| Runtime Environment | Node.js on Alpine Linux |
| Containerization | Docker Engine |
| Base Image | node:14-alpine |
| Application | HTTP Server |
| Port Configuration | Container: 8080, Host: 80 |
| Security | Docker Security Scanning, Minimal Base Image |
🐳 Prerequisites
- Docker Engine (latest version)
- Node.js (for local development)
- Git for version control
- Docker Hub account (optional)
⚙️ Installation
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/TheToriqul/single-container-app.git
- Navigate to the project directory:
cd single-container-app - Build the Docker image:
docker build -t my-node-app:1.0 .
🎮 Usage
- Run the container:
docker run -d --name my-node-app-container -p 80:8080 my-node-app:1.0
- Access the application:
curl http://localhost:80
