### Notes

The image assumes that your application has a file named
[`package.json`](https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json) listing its
dependencies and defining its [start
script](https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scripts#default-values).

It also assumes that you have a file named [`.dockerignore`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#/dockerignore-file) otherwise it will copy your local npm modules:

node_modules

We have assembled a [Best Practices Guide](https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node/blob/master/docs/BestPractices.md) for those using these images on a daily basis.

All of the images contain pre-installed versions of `node`,
[`npm`](https://www.npmjs.com/), and [`yarn`](https://yarnpkg.com). For each
supported architecture, the supported variants are different. In the file
[architectures](https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node/blob/master/architectures),
it lists all supported variants for all of the architectures that we support now.

## Run a single Node.js script

For many simple, single file projects, you may find it inconvenient to write a
complete `Dockerfile`. In such cases, you can run a Node.js script by using the
Node.js Docker image directly:

## Verbosity

By default the Node.js Docker Image has npm log verbosity set to `info` instead
of the default `warn`. This is because of the way Docker is isolated from the
host operating system and you are not guaranteed to be able to retrieve the
`npm-debug.log` file when npm fails.

When npm fails, it writes it's verbose log to a log file inside the container.
If npm fails during an install when building a Docker Image with the `docker
build` command, this log file will become inaccessible when Docker exits.

The Docker Working Group have chosen to be overly verbose during a build to
provide an easy audit trail when install fails. If you prefer npm to be less
verbose you can easily reset the verbosity of npm using the following
techniques:

### Dockerfile

If you create your own `Dockerfile` which inherits from the `node` image you can
simply use `ENV` to override `NPM_CONFIG_LOGLEVEL`.

```
FROM node
ENV NPM_CONFIG_LOGLEVEL warn
...
```
FROM node
ENV NPM_CONFIG_LOGLEVEL warn

### Docker Run

If you run the node image using `docker run` you can use the `-e` flag to
override `NPM_CONFIG_LOGLEVEL`.
If you run the node image using `docker run` you can use the `-e` flag to override `NPM_CONFIG_LOGLEVEL`.

```
$ docker run -e NPM_CONFIG_LOGLEVEL=warn node ...
```
$ docker run -e NPM_CONFIG_LOGLEVEL=warn node ...

### NPM run

If you are running npm commands you can use `--loglevel` to control the
verbosity of the output.
