I have seen a lot of codebase on Docker-compose + Nodejs but none of them are simple or basic enough to understand the flow of commands from docker-compose. I have created a very basic nodejs app which I intend to enable hot-reloading with containers.
My package.json looks like:
{
"name": "docker_web_app",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "Node.js on Docker",
"author": "First Last <first.last@example.com>",
"main": "server.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "node server.js",
"watch": "nodemon"
},
"dependencies": {
"express": "^4.16.1",
"nodemon": "^2.0.7"
}
}
Dockerfile looks like:
FROM node:14 as base
WORKDIR /home/node/app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install -g nodemon && npm install
# Bundle app source
COPY . .
EXPOSE 4000
# RUN npm run start
CMD [ "npm", "start" ]
FROM node:14 as dev
WORKDIR /home/node/app
EXPOSE 4000
CMD ["npm", "watch"]
and the docker-compose.yml file looks like:
version: '3.7'
services:
ts-node-docker:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
target: base
volumes:
- ./:/home/node/app/
container_name: ts-node-docker
expose:
- '4000'
ports:
- '4000:4000'
command: npm run watch
What changes should I do to enable hot reloading in this codebase? Thanks!
