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
