How to execute Windows container with NodeJs

Hi dear, in this article we'll see how to execute Windows container with NodeJs

Note: For now, don't exists any official docker image with NodeJs to Windows container. You can confire at the official repository on dockerhub: https://hub.docker.com/_/node/

Let's see one example to run Windows container with NodeJs, separated at:

• Some Versions >= 14.19.0 from the image henriqueholtz/node-win see official repository on dockerhub
• Some versions <= 13 from the image stefanscherer/node-windows see official repository on dockerhub

Note: You can see the tags that are the versions of NodeJs, for example henriqueholtz/node-win:16.15.1 have the NodeJs on 16.15.1 version.

Let's run it!

In your terminal, run the command below to create the container with the name win-16-15-1

docker run -d -t --name=node-win-16-15-1 henriqueholtz/node-win:16.15.1

After created, we can access the container by name with the command:

docker exec -it node-win-16-15-1 cmd

Now we are into the container, and we can see the NodeJs version with the simple command:

node --version

With this we can run another apps like ReactJs, NextJs and much more, on Windows container!
