# Running a NodeJS application in Docker
|
||||
|
||||
We will be using the guide [Creating a Simple REST API](/guides/nodejs/pages/creating-a-simple-rest-api) as the example application.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- Docker installed
|
||||
- Docker Compose installed
|
||||
|
||||
## Get Started
|
||||
|
||||
1. First we need to create a new file called `Dockerfile`.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Next, we need to open the `Dockerfile` file and add the following code:
|
||||
|
||||
```dockerfile
|
||||
FROM node:latest
|
||||
|
||||
WORKDIR /app
|
||||
|
||||
COPY package*.json ./
|
||||
|
||||
RUN npm install
|
||||
|
||||
COPY . .
|
||||
|
||||
EXPOSE 3000
|
||||
|
||||
CMD ["node", "index.js"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Now we can move on to the `docker-compose.yml` file. We need to create a new file called `docker-compose.yml`.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Next, we need to open the `docker-compose.yml` file and add the following code:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
version: "3.9"
|
||||
|
||||
services:
|
||||
nodejs_rest_api:
|
||||
build: .
|
||||
restart: unless-stopped
|
||||
ports:
|
||||
- "3000:3000"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will create a new service called `nodejs_rest_api` and build the Docker image using the `Dockerfile` in the current directory.
|
||||
|
||||
5. You can now copyy the project files to where you want to run the application.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Next, we need to open the terminal and run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker-compose up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will start the application in the background.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Next, we need to open a web browser and navigate to `http://server_ip:3000`.
|
||||
|
||||
You should now see your application running.
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating the application
|
||||
|
||||
1. First we need to open the terminal and run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker-compose down
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will stop the application.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Next, we need to update the application files. You can do this by copying the updated files to the server.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Next, we need to open the terminal and run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker-compose build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will re-build the Docker image.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Next, we need to open the terminal and run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker-compose up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will start the application in the background again.
|
||||
|
||||
## Finished
|
||||
|
||||
You have now successfully created a NodeJS application and run it in Docker and know how to update it.
