Install Docker using command line and pull code from github

Introduction

• Briefly introduce the importance of CI/CD in modern application development.
• Highlight the benefits of deploying Node.js Docker applications using aws command line and GitHub Actions.
• Outline the steps that will be covered in the blog.

Prerequisites

• aws account.
• GitHub repository with your Node.js application.
• Basic knowledge of Docker and GitHub Actions.

Follow Below steps to install docker first

1. update the package list

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y

2. Install prerequisite packages

sudo apt install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common

3. Add Docker's official GPG key

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

4. Set up the Docker stable repository

echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

5. Install Docker

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

6. Verify Docker installation

docker --version

7. Verify Docker installation

docker --version

Install Docker Compose

1. Download and install Docker Compose

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

2. Set executable permissions

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

3. Verify installation

docker-compose --version

Clone Your Node.js Project from GitHub

1. Install Git

sudo apt install -y git

2. Clone the repository

git clone "git_url"
cd "repo_name"

Create Dockerfile for Node.js Application

1. Inside the project directory, create a Dockerfile

# Use Node.js base image
FROM node:16-alpine

# Set working directory
WORKDIR /app

# Copy package.json and package-lock.json
COPY package*.json ./

# Install dependencies
RUN npm install

# Copy application code
COPY . .

# Expose the application port (e.g., 3000)
EXPOSE 3000

# Start the application
CMD ["npm", "start"]

Build and Run Docker Container

1. Build the Docker image

docker-compose build (if you have docker-compose.yml)

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --name node_structure node:20 tail -f /dev/null  
(if you do not have docker-compose.yml)

2. Run the container

docker-compose up -d

3. Verify running container

docker ps

Comments

[Bryan Nystrom]

Also, docker-compose is (being) depricated in favor to the compose plugin.
Commands should be "docker compose..." not "docker-compose" with the plugin.

Otherwise, useful information for anyone who needs to add docker and git on a fresh linux install.

thanks for clarification

[Thomas Broyer]

Why don't you install Compose from the packages as well? (apt install docker-compose-plugin)

Was worth reading, thanks for information

thanks

hey I m Ilyas from Morocco can someone explain how to get my GitHub repository Node.js application to start install docker

[Dhaval Upadhyay]

you can create new empty repository in github and then upload node js code to that repo
