Node+Docker includes Node and the docker-engine to ease CI/CD by enabling the working with the an external/mapped docker host for building Docker images.

Please note: This container does not set out to be secure, it sets out to be usable as a tool in a self-contained private CI/CD setting.

The Docker tag is in the format: node${NODE_VERSION}-docker${DOCKER_VERSION} where node version and the docker version is replaced with one of the following versions:

If you are after a specific Dockerfile, you can view the Github Repo, where each version tag has been pushed to a separate branch.

Say I want, Node 8 with Docker CE 17.03, you would run:

docker pull matthewhartstonge/node-docker:node8-docker17.03.1ce

Since this image is based on dockerhub's node, all actions follow through on this container, with the exception of the addition of the docker-engine.

The underlying OS is debian:jessie.

To get access to your host, simply map the docker socket into the container on startup.

docker run -it \
    -v "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"
    matthewhartstonge/node-docker
    docker ps

Each node/docker version is split out into a separate branch. Please feel free to add Pull Requests to add the different versions you use as a token of thanks and also to give back to the community.

For those that are using anything that requires node-gyp (SASS, argon2 e.t.c.) the build tools (g++, make and python) are now included.

Simply pull your required version from dockerhub

docker pull matthewhartstonge/node-docker

To use CI testing with this image, depending on how your CI environment works, the simplest way to do this is to add an NPM script that can run.

For example, using Mocha, in package.json:

...
  },
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node app.js",
    "test": "node ./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha test/**/*.test.js"
  },
...

Then in your .drone, .jenkinsfile, .whatever add:

script:
  - npm run test
