strapi-docker-launcher

Launcher for strapi that works for all strapi versions including v4. Differences from the official https://github.com/strapi/strapi-docker:

• Supports Strapi v4 as well as older versions of Strapi (3x, 2x).
• Specify Strapi versions and Node.js versions when building images.
• Updated to use ES modules. As such this library requires Node.js >= 12.
• Uses commander instead of argv for CLI.

Issues: requires Node 12 or newer.

See the official repo for more information.

Quickstart

1. Install package dependencies using yarn or npm yarn install.
2. Run yarn build to build base and strapi images using the latest Node.js version.
3. Run docker run -p 1337:1337 -it strapi/strapi:4.1.12-node16-alpine to start Strapi.

When running this image, strapi will check if there is a project in the /src/app folder of the container. If there is nothing then it will run the strapi new command in the container /srv/app folder.

More Examples

You can create a strapi project that will connect to a remote postgres database like so:

docker run -it \
  -p 1337:1337 \
  -p 5432:5432 \
  -v `pwd`/app:/srv/app \
  -e DATABASE_CLIENT=postgres \
  -e DATABASE_NAME=strapi_demo \
  -e DATABASE_HOST=host.docker.internal \
  -e DATABASE_PORT=5432 \
  -e DATABASE_USERNAME=postgres \
  -e DATABASE_PASSWORD=postgres \
  strapi/strapi:4.1.12-node16-alpine
