This is a Express Rest API. I'm trying here to run a CI/CD pipeline starting from building the docker image till deploying the container to AWS EC2 Ubuntu instance every time I push updates to the Main branch. Here are the steps:
- Checkout code.
- Login to dockerhub.
- Build docker image that contains the Express Rest API and tag it with the commit sha.
- Push the docker image to dockerhub.
- Stop running docker containers.
- Delete existing docker images.
- Pull docker image that contains the Express Rest API.
- Run docker container and expose port 3000.
