I am following along with this tutorial to learn how to containerize a node.js / express application I'm working on. Everything seems to be working fine, except that when I docker ps after building the container, I don't see my running container.
Node.js / express code:
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send("Hi there")
})
app.listen(port, () => console.log("Listening On Port 3000"))
Dockerfile
FROM node:latest
WORKDIR /untitled
COPY package.json .
RUN npm install
EXPOSE 3000
COPY . ./
CMD node server.js
My working directory is "untitled" because that's the default name that Webstorm gives my project and I haven't changed it yet.
The image build seems to have worked fine
As well as the container build
But docker ps isn't showing me any containers
