Node JS

1. First, create a new directory where all the files would live. In this directory create a package.json file that describes your app and its dependencies: file package.json as following

   {
     "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"
     },
     "dependencies": {
       "express": "^4.16.1"
     }
   }
   

With your new package.json file, run npm install. If you are using npm version 5 or later, this will generate a package-lock.json file which will be copied to your Docker image.

2. Then, create a server.js file that defines a web app using the Express.js framework:

'use strict';

const express = require('express');

// Constants
const PORT = 8080;
const HOST = '0.0.0.0';

// App
const app = express();
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.send('Hello World');
});

app.listen(PORT, HOST, () => {
  console.log(`Running on http://${HOST}:${PORT}`);
});
