Understanding the Docker Configuration
Dockerfile.local
This file builds our Strapi application's Docker image based on Node.js, specifically using an Alpine Linux variant for a lightweight environment. It installs necessary system dependencies like vips-dev for image processing which Strapi often requires, especially for media handling. The Dockerfile also handles the installation of NPM packages and builds the Strapi project.
Docker Compose Setup
In our docker-compose.yml, we define the services required for our application: the Strapi service and a PostgreSQL service. Docker Compose allows us to manage multiple containers as a single application.
Setting Up TypeScript with Strapi
To use TypeScript in Strapi, we configure it through a tsconfig.json file. This configuration file allows us to specify compiler options and include/exclude files for our project.
Conclusion
With this setup, you have a powerful boilerplate that leverages Strapi, Docker, PostgreSQL, and TypeScript to kickstart your full-stack development projects. Feel free to customize and extend it according to your needs.
