Here's a breakdown of each of the Dockerfile commands :) also don't mind the buggy facecam at the end of the video lol FROM - specifies the base image for the Docker image you are creating. All subsequent instructions in the Dockerfile will be applied on top of this base image. WORKDIR - sets the working directory for any subsequent instructions that follow it in the Dockerfile. This is where commands like RUN and COPY will be executed. COPY - copies files or directories from the host machine to the Docker image. The first argument is the path to the file or directory on the host machine, and the second argument is the destination path in the Docker image. RUN - executes a command in the Docker image. This can be used to install packages, run build commands, and do other tasks required to configure the image. EXPOSE - documents the ports that the Docker image is expected to listen on when it is run. It does not actually publish the ports. CMD - specifies the command to run when the Docker container is started from the image. If the Docker container is started with a command-line argument, it will override the CMD instruction. There can only be one CMD instruction in a Dockerfile, and it should be the last instruction.
Damn, I've never seen this Docker configuration. I've started learning backdev recently and the amount of project configurations is just mindblowing. It's really easy to get lost in this whole ocean of information
Thank you! Easy explained about using integration with database and with creating and checking what's going on with using Docker image! Additional thanks about details with port forwarding from outside to inside.
I'd like to know/watch a solution how to prepare Docker image if I don't have Docker installed on my computer, but it is installed on a server and my devOps knows how to operate with Docker images, but I need to incorporate using of Docker image in a project as a developer. And once again, dev machine is working on one operating system, though server machine is working on different one. What should I consider for?
There are numerous ways you can do it - this is just one. Another is to boot up the docker container and run a terminal command from within, and another is to execute a script that does an equivalent functionality.
In the Dockerfile, could you also run "COPY . ." on line 5 instead and then "RUN npm install"? That would copy everything including the package*.json files and they are going to the same location. From what I can see there's no benefit in copying the json files, installing the packages, and then having to copy the rest of the project files, but maybe I misunderstand
good question - there can definitely be advantages for using commonjs modules but in this video it was mostly just out of habit - ES6 is a great way to go if you prefer to do it that way though!
If I wanted to connect my pgAdmin to the postgres on the container how would I do this? I've spent more time than I'd like to admit trying to get that to work but with no results. Help would me much appreciated.
You need to bind a port to your db. To do so, you can add "ports" to your db service. In another word, make the "docker-compose.yaml" look like this: version: "3" services: db: image: postgres environment: POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password123 POSTGRES_USER: user123 POSTGRES_DB: db123 ports: - 13001:5432 app: image: my-node-app ports: - 13000:3000 Then rebuild and dock your app and db again by running the following commands in the terminal: docker system prune docker build -t my-node-app . docker-compose up Now, you should be able to connect to your database on port 13001 by using the respected settings and credentials.

Yea I feel you my friend! Just have to find the configurations you like and keep with them :)
Docker configs is easy, actually. You really most time googling a ready solutions and modify/cobine by the need
aswome , best rich example in minutes, dude your amazing , you just clarify everything as you go !
thx
Simple, fast, direct ! Good job!

Very good. Congratulation Smoljames.
Very on point and shoulrt and sweet. Thanks man. What is your vscode color theme btw ? Looks clean...
Great job. it really helped! Thank you
Great tutorial. Really helped! Thank you
Glad it helped!
now in the same project can you please add kubernetes connectivity too?
great tutorial, thank you
Thanks for the comment :)
thanks a lot , great tutorial
Cheers broski :P
Helpfull tutorial❤
thanks bro, you rock

Is this the way to create tables inside docker container of postgres ??
What is the better and industry standard way ? Please explain

@@Smoljames Thank you
which vscode theme u r using?

From what I can see there's no benefit in copying the json files, installing the packages, and then having to copy the rest of the project files, but maybe I misunderstand
I think it is to prevent copying the node_modules folder, which will be huge in size.
Thanks.
Thanks
You're welcome my broski :P
bro you saved me ty lol
Is there a specific reason for using commonjs modules over ES6 modules?
good question - there can definitely be advantages for using commonjs modules but in this video it was mostly just out of habit - ES6 is a great way to go if you prefer to do it that way though!

Then rebuild and dock your app and db again by running the following commands in the terminal:

is it just me or does the video stop around 23:27?
I can't find this code on your git hub
My apologies - link is here!
