Nest Docker Template

Not much going on here, just a simple template repo for using NestJS and Docker together. I'll probably expand on it later. The resulting container is currently 101MB.

Build

You can either build the docker project using docker or docker-compose

Docker

The following command builds the Docker image with the label "docker-nest"

docker build . -t docker-nest

Once build you can run it with

docker run -p 80:3000 --rm -d --name nest docker-nest

This will expose your server on your localhost's port 80 so you can go to http://localhost and see the server respond. Also runs in detached mode and will remove the container when it is stopped.

Docker-Compose

Using docker-compose to run the server, all you need is

docker-compose up -d

Which will run the build, and start the server mapping local port 80 ot the container's port 3000.

Tests

Docker

You can build the test docker if you'd like with the following command

docker build -f test.Dockerfile .

Docker-Compose

A better idea would be to use the docker-compose built for tests specifically.

docker-compose -f docker-compose.ci.yml up -d

Afterwards you can stop the container with

docker-compose -f docker-compose.ci.yml down
