Vagrant + Docker + Your Node App = Awesome!

Requirements:

1. Install Vagrant
2. Install VirtualBox
3. Install git :p

Usage:

Assuming that you are in a folder you wish to pull the repo (and copy your node app) into...

# git init
# git pull https://github.com/sabhiram/docker-nodejs.git

There is a default folder called nodejs_app which contains index.js and package.json files. To have this actually use your own app, copy or git pull your app into the nodejs_app dir. The Vagrant file exposes the current dir to the VM, and then docker also keeps said folder sync'd with the node container it will spawn. This allows us to edit the server in our VM host and re-deploy with ease.

# vagrant up
# vagrant ssh 

And now you are inside a coreos vm set-up by Vagrant!! On to getting node installed... ready?

# sudo docker build -t <yourname>/nodejs .
# NODEJS_CONTAINER=$(sudo docker run -i -t <yourname>/nodejs)
# sudo docker attach $NODEJS_CONTAINER

Say hello to Node back!!
