Run your development environment with a single command using docker-compose πŸš€. This repository was boarn with aim to share how simple development environment could be with docker-compose. If you ever had to perform 100 steps to run a new project you will like this a lot. You could read more on the problem in this blog post.

Features

  • πŸ”₯ Simple project start run your development evnrionment with a single command
  • πŸ™€ Environment agnostic with docker-compose you can run your project on Mac, Windows or Linux environments without any issues.
  • ️⚑️ Multi-language projects choose whatever language you need to solve the problem, but keep development environment easy for developers.

Getting Started

./bin/start.sh β€” starts entire application ./bin/run-tests.sh β€” runs tests using docker-compose

The repository consists 4 demo-purpose independent services:

  1. Landing - a landing site
  2. Web - a simple frontend that serves client side assets for React application and do some server side rendering.
  3. Api - a restful api.
  4. Admin - an admin site

For learning purpose just pay attention to the following files:

  1. Dockerfile
  2. Dockerfile.dev
  3. package.json
  4. docker-compose.yml
  5. docker-compose.local-tests.yml
  6. .env

Separate Dockerfile for development

Dockerfile.dev used to run every project on local environment. There are two reasons for using separate dockerfile for local environments:

  1. To run application using Nodemon, which automatically restart application on code change. (same can be achieved by overriding command in docker-compose.yml)
  2. Production Docker files has npm run build && npm prune --production. That needed to keep your Docker images smaller, by removing devDependencies after build step has been completed. In this step you would typically use Webpack, Gulp or any other bundlers / task runners.

If image size is not an issue - I would recommend to keep same Dockerfile for both development and production environments. You might also want to look into this discussion
