#Node images Specify your volumes in docker-compose as such
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile.development
volumes:
- ./:/share
- /share/node_modules
Here is a full example of a dockerfile we use for the front end of codelitt.com:
version: '2'
services:
frontend:
container_name: codelitt-v2
tty: true
stdin_open: true
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile.development
volumes:
- ./:/share
- /share/node_modules
ports:
- "8080:8080"
This uses a data volume to store all the node_modules as data
volumes copy in the data from the built docker image before
mounting.
You can find issues when docker builds the image if the volumes are mounted after a build from the empty host as it will write over the build.
