Ubuntu baseimage Meteor Docker Build

Ubuntu baseimage for build and run MeteorJS applications inside docker container.

Features

• Ubuntu image based on phusion/baseimage-docker (look why and read about image features)
• Meteor preinstaled
• During build up, Meteor version will install from your app and NodeJS and NPM will be linked from this Meteor version for compatibility.
• Don't depend on NodeJS installation (Meteor release NodeJS and NPM version is used).
• Your application will be build inside docker container. Build host (like CI) doesn't require Meteor install.
• You can add volume linked to /var/log/meteor.log for Meteor logging outside of container.
• You can add more services or deamons to run in container for example memcached

Project state

Currently in beta testing. Not recomended for production use.

How to use

See /example folder how to build your application docker container. Simply copy files from /example folder into your Meteor project. Setup options in Dockerfile and docker-build.sh file and run sh docker-build.sh to build your app image.

Road map (todo)

• Add image versions depended on baseimage and Meteor versions
  • at now solved with Meteor release update on build from your APP Meteor vesion
• Run app under Meteor user for security reasons
• Meteor proper logging with date-time (to syslog?)
• Add build tests
• Release production ready version
• Add optional Nginx and MongoDB install with custom config (or run in docker-compose)
• Add examples to install Imagemagick, Graphicmagick, etc. to use with Meteor

All Contribustions, bug reports or features request are welcome!
